Now when I compile another package that has glib-2.4.0 as a dependency, I get the following error during ./configure (in this case of atk-1.6.0):
checking for pkg-config... /usr/local/bin/pkg-config checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.0... *** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.4.0, but GLIB (2.2.1) *** was found! If pkg-config was correct, then it is best *** to remove the old version of GLib. You may also be able to fix the error *** by modifying your LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable, or by editing *** /etc/ld.so.conf.

From what I can see, glib-2.4 hasn't installed itself in /usr/lib or/usr/local/lib/. I'm at a loss as how to please pkg-config.
As if the whole gtk/glib nightmare weren't confusing enough, glib-2.2 and glib-2.4 etc install themselves in directories named glib-2.0. That could be your problem.
I'm going through the same upgrades (for gimp 2) that you are now. I apparently had glib-2.2.3 installed at /usr/lib/, and when I installed 2.4 it went to /usr/local/lib/. So I deleted these (glib-2.3) files:
/usr/lib/libglib-2.0.la /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0.200.3 /usr/lib/glib-2.0/
That made the error message go away. Of course, now none of my programs will start (rox (file manager), gftp, thunderbird, etc), and gtk+-2.4.0's make is dying with some obscure error, so my entire system is borked.
