ubuntu 10.04 xcdroast unable to install glib-config script not found

I installed cdroast that came with ubuntu and received the following:

Warning: No root configuration file found or not readable!
The superuser must start and configure X-CD-Roast first, before
other users can use it.

I searched and found that the root configuration was turned off in some versions and uninstalled, then found a good version at http://www.xcdroast.org/ but when I tried to install from a *.tar.gz and after I ran a ./config I got:

checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.3... no
*** The glib-config script installed by GLIB could not be found
*** If GLIB was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the GLIB_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to glib-config.
configure: error: Test for GLIB failed. See the file 'INSTALL' for help.

I downloaded glib-2.24.0.tar.gz and got a successful install, and I still receive the GLIB error. If the problem is GLIB_CONFIG environment variable, I do not know how to change that. I cannot locate glib-config either.

May be you have to use this command the first time :
'sudo xcdroast' , to have it configured.

Why install an alien glib ? Glib-2.24 is installed by default.
The package name is 'libglib2.0-0'.

To get the development package, used for compiling applications:
sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev
http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/libglib2.0-dev
