checking for glib-config... /usr/local/bin/glib-config
checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.0...
*** 'glib-config --version' returned 1.2.9, but GLIB (1.2.10)
*** was found! If glib-config was correct, then it is best

I think you installed glib 1.2.9 when you have glib 1.2.10 in your system without uninstalling it first. The problem here is glib-config returns version 1.2.9 (one that you installed ) but when searching for libs it founds glib 1.2.10 which was in the system before.

I had the same problem before when I tried to install GTK+. I installed glib 1.2.10 (from source) without uninstalling the old one and GTK+ configure script complained version conflict. I fixed this by editing /etc/ld.so.conf . I placed /usr/local/lib (where my glib 1.2.10 was installed ) top in the list and run 'ldconfig'.

But recommended way to fix this error is to uninstall glib first.
rpm -e --nodeps glib
Make sure 'glib-config' returns no version thereafter.

Then reinstall glib. You can install glib either from the SUSE CD or download the latest from http://www.gtk.org

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.
