After installing glib, edit the glib-config shell script and add
-R${exec_prefix}/lib to the echo command on the previous to last line
of the script, so that it looks like this:

...
	fi
	echo -L${exec_prefix}/lib -R${exec_prefix}/lib $libsp $libsa
fi


After that change, "glib-config --libs" should print something like this
(modulo the /opt/gtk12 prefix, that's where I've installed glib/gtk)

% /opt/gtk12/bin/glib-config --libs
-L/opt/gtk12/lib -R/opt/gtk12/lib -lglib

gtk+ should now build without problem.


You may want to repeat this step (hacking in proper -R... options for
each -L...) for the gtk-config script after installing gtk+.
