Problem installing gnucash-1.8.7

All,

I am having problems installing gnucash-1.8.7.tar.gz.  I have no problem
uncompressing the tar file, however, when I perform ./configure, I get
the following:

.
.
.
checking for GLIB - version >= 0.99.7... 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.
configure: error: Cannot find glib. Check config.log


I am running Mandrake 9.1 and have the following glib packages
installed:

glib-gettextize-2.2.1-1mdk.rpm
glibc-devel-2.3.1-10mdk.rpm
glibc-i18ndata-2.3.1-10mdk.rpm
glibc_isb-2.3.2-1mdk.rpm
libglib2.0_0-devel-2.2.1-1mdk.rpm

I was trying to use gnucash-1.8.1-2, but found that the QIF import did
not treat my MS Money 2001 data correctly.  I removed the following
packages:

gnucash-1.8.1-2mdk.rpm
gnucash-hbcl-1.8.1-2mdk.rpm
gnucash-ofx-1.8.1-2mdk.rpm
libgnucash0-1.8.1-2mdk.rpm
libgnucash0-devel-1.8.1-2mdk.rpm

Do I need any other gnucash packages other than gnucash-1.8.7.tar.gz?

I would like to totally do away with MS Money, but until I get gnucash
up and running, I cannot.

Thanks,

Bob
