hi eric,
you seem to be confused about what "installed" means. are you remembering
to make install; after you make;? make install actually installs the package. it
places things like glib-config and executables in /usr/local/bin, and places the
libs you just made into /usr/local/lib. this is a vital step. you just made glib in
/usr/local/glib-1.2.1, you still must make install before it's "installed."
my glib-config is in /usr/local/bin.
PREFIX is usually set to the dir to which you *want to install it in*, not the dir
which you compiled the package in, (it can figure out that this is ./)
PREFIX would be "/usr/local/bin" in this case.
you should not have to edit glib-config. even if you did, don't use emacs
for quick and dirty editing; use vi, pico, jed.
i hope this helps.
