failed to detect Glib?

error: Failed to detect or find glib-2.0 >= 2.6.4 gthread-2.0 (consider adjusting $PKG_CONFIG_PATH)

I got this error when trying to configure BEAST.... I obviously have Glib somewhere. How might I adjust PKG_CONFIG?
I'm running UBUNTU

I guess that you have glib-2.0, but its version is lower that 2.6.4, that's why ./configure complains. Usually these libraries are installed in /usr/lib and you can run

Code:

pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0

to find the vesrion.
Use your distro's package manager to see if it's installed and to upgrade to the latest version.
If you have installed the library yourself in a non standard place you can adjust the PKG_CONFIG_PATH like this:

Code:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/non-standard/libs:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

Still using Ubuntu 8.10 ?

Install package 'libglib2.0-dev' , if you want to
compile with "glib2.0" :

sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev
