./configure error with gaim 1.0.1

I'm trying to upgrade from gaim 1.0.0 to gaim 1.0.1. I'm running Slackware -current.

I downloaded gaim-1.0.1.tar.gz, unzipped and untarred it, but when I run ./configure I get the following error:

It seems to be complaining about glib. According to pkgtool, in Slackware, I have glib2-2.4.0 installed, which seems to meet gaim's requirement, so why am I getting this error? How can I make ./configure see the proper version of glib?

Basically the config files differ from the actual libraries you have. while the check is ok, in that it's greater than 2.0, 2.4.0 should equal 2.4.2, and it's that your system disagree's with itself, more than configure disagrees with your system. did you upgrade glib recently? you could always fiddle in and edit glib-2.0.pc to say 2.4.2...
