Any C compiler should do, but you will need autconf-toolset on your 
build-system.

you only need root permission if you want to place files/bins in 
protected directory, ie. /usr/...

You can fetch pre-compiled versions it from 
Redhat/SuSE/Java-Desktop/Debian and other Linux-Distributions

Use specific option of your linker, ie. "--static -lORBit2"
For more information, type in terminal "man ld"

See documentation at http://www.gnome.org/projects/ORBit2

AFAIK, you will need pkg-config tool.
Where did you find references to "glib-config"?
