By default the configure script installs the compiled versions in
/usr/local . But in order for this version to be found you have to set
the PKG_CONFIG_PATH as well:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
You may also need to define:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
in order for your compiled versions to be picked up. Finally you may
have to add the following third variable:
export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /usr/local/share/aclocal"
though I am not sure this is needed.
For glib you don't have a problem since there are no dependencies. But
for the subsequent programs you compile your glib isn't found unless
you have set the variables above.
Hope this helps.

Dov
