It isn't looking for glibc, it is looking for glib, a basic utility library for C. Quite different from glibc. > checking for glib-config... /usr/bin/glib-config Okay. If found glib-config. > checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.0... no It is looking for glib greater than version 1.2 and not finding it. On my system, the output of glib-config --version is: $ glib-config --version 1.2.10 What is it on yours?
