The version you need to get rid of is the version that did *not* came from Debian. Never try to replace system packages with random hand-compiled stuff unless you know what you are doing (which is defined as that you don't need to ask how to fix things you break in the process). I hope you did not install the other one to /usr. If you installed it to /usr/local or an even more reasonable place, `make uninstall' should remove it again. Then you can ./configure the new GLib version with a non-system --prefix (e.g. something like ~/opt/glib) and install it there. And set PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH to point to this other version when compiling and running software with this new version.
