GLib installation problems


Trying to install Glib 2.4.0 so I can install GTK+ so I can install Gaim and I get the following error, I think I copied from where the problem starts:

Code:
&& echo timestamp > stamp-gmarshal.h
./glib-genmarshal: eval: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `('
./glib-genmarshal: eval: line 1: `(cd /home/awlred/Documents/Installs (RPMs and Tarballs)/glib-2.4.0/gobject; { test -z "${LIBRARY_PATH+set}" || unset LIBRARY_PATH || { LIBRARY_PATH=; export LIBRARY_PATH; }; }; { test -z "${COMPILER_PATH+set}" || unset COMPILER_PATH || { COMPILER_PATH=; export COMPILER_PATH; }; }; { test -z "${GCC_EXEC_PREFIX+set}" || unset GCC_EXEC_PREFIX || { GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=; export GCC_EXEC_PREFIX; }; }; { test -z "${LD_RUN_PATH+set}" || unset LD_RUN_PATH || { LD_RUN_PATH=; export LD_RUN_PATH; }; }; PATH="/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin"; export PATH; gcc -g -O2 -Wall -o $progdir/$file glib-genmarshal.o ../glib/.libs/libglib-2.0.so -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/home/awlred/Documents/Installs -Wl,--rpath -Wl,(RPMs -Wl,--rpath -Wl,and -Wl,--rpath -Wl,Tarballs)/glib-2.4.0/glib/.libs -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib)'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/awlred/Documents/Installs (RPMs and Tarballs)/glib-2.4.0'

It looks like you've made a folder called Installs (RPMs and Tarballs) that has several spaces in it. Try replacing the spaces with - or _ or just call it Installs
