glib and irssi problems

I've compiled glib several times on my RHE3 box so i can get irssi to work but everytime I try to ./configure irssi i get the following.

Quote:

checking for glib-config... (cached) no
checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.0... 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.

*** If you don't have GLIB, you can get it from ftp://ftp.gtk.org
*** If you can't install GLIB anywhere or if you don't want to,
*** you can just unpack it to Irssi's source directory and
*** Irssi will automatically compile and use it.

*** I can download GLib for you now. If you don't want to, press CTRL-C now.

*** Press ENTER to continue

checking whether GLib is unpacked to irssi dir... no
configure: error: GLIB is required to build irssi.

I've even tried rpm packages with no help, I'm really out of ideas so any help I'd love to get.

Thanks
