Configure Problem During Installation-libglib Incompatibility

[Derek Atkins]

Ubuntu should only allow you to have one -dev package installed.
How did you get the -dev packages for both versions of glib
installed simultaneously.  Any answer that sounds like "I built
it from source" is undoubtedly the wrong answer and you should
rm -rf the install prefix and use the ubuntu packages.

"apt-get build-dep gnucash" is your friend.
