Have you run ldconfig after installing glib? ldconfig updates your system
on the locations of various libraries. ld.so.conf
tells it which directories to look in. If you do not have /usr/local/lib (
or wherever you installed glib into ) as an entry in your ld.so.conf
file, you should add that entry, and then ( as root ) run ldconfig.
Hope that helps,

question of the existence of views in the absence of anyone to hold them

the reader is left as an exercise for the second god coefficient. (A
