From what I can see, glib-2.4 hasn't installed itself in /usr/lib or
/usr/local/lib/. I'm at a loss as how to please pkg-config.

As if the whole gtk/glib nightmare weren't confusing enough, glib-2.2 and glib-2.4 etc install themselves in directories named glib-2.0. That could be your problem.


I'm going through the same upgrades (for gimp 2) that you are now. I apparently had glib-2.2.3 installed at /usr/lib/, and when I installed 2.4 it went to /usr/local/lib/. So I deleted these (glib-2.3) files:

/usr/lib/libglib-2.0.la
/usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so
/usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0
/usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0.200.3
/usr/lib/glib-2.0/

That made the error message go away. Of course, now none of my programs will start (rox (file manager), gftp, thunderbird, etc), and gtk+-2.4.0's make is dying with some obscure error, so my entire system is borked.
