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)
actually I forgot to mention a couple of things. I'd like to keep the old version of glib-devel-1.2.10-586.2 and glib-devel-32bit-9-200501051723
These got installed using RPMS while OS was installed.
Someone requested for glib-devel-2.x version which was not installed. I thought I could install it using source without affecting any part of current system files and as a unique package in /usr/local which that user could make use of when wanted.
First thing I was confused because package on that website or even gnome ftp site is glib and NOT glib-devel. So, I hope the package 'glib' itself is correct. And, secondly now that I have installed glib-2.24.2 using default ./configure options, will it mess up any part of the system or it will still be compatible with old glib-devel?
Also, is there anyway to find using rpm command where glib-devel-1.2.x package files get installed. Meaning what all locations of file system.
Now that you said the installation from source might have overwritten old binaries or libraries, I am really concerned.

glib-config
GLIB(1) 1.2.10 GLIB(1) NAME
glib-config - script to get information about the installed version of GLib SYNOPSIS
glib-config [--prefix[=DIR]] [--exec-prefix[=DIR]] [--version] [--libs] [--cflags] [LIBRARIES] DESCRIPTION
glib-config is a tool that is used to configure to determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs that use GLib. It is also used internally to the .m4 macros for GNU autoconf that are included with GLib. OPTIONS
glib-config accepts the following options: LIBRARIES GLib has three libraries 'glib', 'gmodule' and 'gthread'. If you specify one of them, only the appropriate things for that library will be printed. --version Print the currently installed version of GLib on the standard output. --libs Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a GLib program. --cflags Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a GLib program. --prefix=PREFIX If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that GLib was built with when computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. This option is also used for the exec prefix if --exec-prefix was not specified. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options. --exec-prefix=PREFIX If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation exec prefix that GLib was built with when computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options. SEE ALSO
