Looks like you're hitting the dependency hell problem. Your old glib came from rpms, your new one from source. Can you track down the appropriate rpms for the later glib and install them instead? I'd suggest first doing a "make uninstall" of the fresh new glib that you just spent all that time building. The problem is that you have the new glib installed in /usr/local (probably), but still have the old rpm installed in /usr.
