To me this looks like you have an older version of libglib-2.0 on your system 
somewhere that gets drawn in somehow (in addition to the glib from package), 
while at the same time the includes from the newer packaged version are used. 
Do you have /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0* on your system by any chance? If yes, 
you should get rid of the non-package version by doing something like:

  # rm /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0*
  # rm /usr/local/lib/libgobject-2.0*
  # rm /usr/local/lib/libgthread-2.0*
  # rm /usr/local/lib/libmodule-2.0*
  # rm /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc
  # rm /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/gobject-2.0.pc
  # rm /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/gthread-2.0.pc
  # rm /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/gmodule*2.0.pc
  # rm -rf /usr/local/include/glib-2.0
  # /sbin/ldconfig

(if you still have the glib source tree around, 'make uninstall' would be 
better of course). 

After that things should work.
