Hi, I'm a newbie but keen to learn. Problems with trying to download and 
install various programs. When I do ./configure, it scrolls through but 
then gives a message:

checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.0... no
*** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log 
for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is incorrectly 
installed.
configure: error:
*** GLib 2.0 is required to build Gaim; please make sure you have the GLib
*** development headers installed. The latest version of GLib is
*** always available at http://www.gtk.org/.

I have had similar messages for GTK2 on other attempts to configure 
programs. I have read a manual about paths but don't quite know if this 
is the answer or how to solve it. Would be grateful for a solution to 
this as it will help me install loads of stuff.
