GLIB not being seen
 

First of all , I'm a newbie, using Red hat 9
Now
I installed glib 2.2.3 by extracting the tarball, opening a terminal and typing

./configure
make
make install

that seemed to go ok. But when I try to install pango 1.2.5

I get the following error message during the configure process:

checking for GLIB - version >= 2.1.3... 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 2.1.3 or better is required. The latest version of
*** Glib is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/.

...after which it exits.

WHAT I KNOW:
-The configure script cannot find a glib installation with a version
greatet than or equal to 2.1.3
WHAT I DONT KNOW:
-Where the configure script looks in order to come to this conclusion
-What the configure script looks for in order to come to this conclusion
-Most other things about Linux

can somebody PLEASE give me some suggestions as to what is the most likely thing
that has gone wrong here. as I said I'm a newbie, but I need this in time for tomorrow.

Many Thanks

Didn't glib and pango got installed with RH9 installer?
Why you got a source package instead of a compiled one if you are new to this, man?

You could cut some of your fingers to make it more difficult ;-)

Seriously, can't you install glic & pango binary rpm packages ?
