If I understand you correctly you compiled the program on one machine and are now trying to run it on a different machine that probably had different version of the libraries installed that this program depends upon. You have two options; 1) Make sure that the machine you are running on have the same versions installed of the libraries that this program is using (not only glib). 2) Recompile the program on the machine where you'd like to run it so that it links with the libraries available on that machine.
