The linker is not finding the glib functions. Where have you installed
glib? I think you might be able to solve this problem by defining the
GNOME_PATH environment variable, and then reconfiguing and making.

Something like:

export GNOME_PATH=/opt/gnome:/opt/glib

(or wherever you installed glib).
