Yes, and the lines below tell you the problem (or at least some of it)

most of these libraries have a little helper function, in the case of  
glib, it is called
glib-config
find it, make sure it is on you path, so that if you go (in the shell)

glib-config --cflags

you see something like:
-I/usr/local/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/local/lib/glib/include

where the location, will of course be different - unless your computer  
looks a lot like mine,
but do make sure that the file glib.h is in one of those directories  
named here
(installing from rpms sometimes does odd things -). Once that is true,  
then you should have
not problems...
