Usually you'd install using your distro's package manager instead of building from source unless there's an extremely good reason not to. Packages for your distro know where everything belongs, source tarballs are generic things which don't. 'make install' installed both headers and binaries, and may not have put them in the place your distro needs them in order to find them unless you picked your ./configure options carefully. You probably have the necessary header files now, but may have overwritten your glib binaries or installed extra copies somewhere else (check /usr/local/lib)
