OK, so you're missing glib.h, and indication that you don't have glib's 
development files installed.

These are the runtime libraries. These packages do not include the 
header files and other files needed to build apps which utilise these 
libraries.

Look for packages with similar names, but with a -devel in there too. 
e.g. libgtk+2.0-devel_...

I think that's how Mandrake names packages, anyhow. Debian would have 
libgtk2.0-dev

Libraries tend to be split like this when they're packaged because the 
develepment files are useless to people who aren't compiling stuff, and 
they can sometimes take up a fair amount of disk space (they often 
include a statically-linked version of the library, so by not having the 
development half installed, you halve your disk space requirements, or so)

You'll probably find this is FAQ entry #1 under "Why won't the Gimp 
compile? It says I don't have glib, but I do - I really do!" or something.

Mandrake might have a meta-package called gnome-devel or something, 
which will depend on all the packages needed to have a full Gnome 
development environment (it will be *big*)
