title: Error: GLib is required to build irssi
body: <p>I'm new to Linux (Debian) world. Irssi requires GLib, so I installed 2.6.6 version. When trying <code>./configure</code> Irssi, it gives:</p>
  
  <pre><code>...
  checking pkg-config is at least version 0.7... yes
  checking for GLIB - version &gt;= 2.6.0...
  *** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.6.6, but GLIB (2.32.4)
  *** was found! If pkg-config was correct, then it is best
  *** to remove the old version of GLib. You may also be able to fix the error
  *** by modifying your LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable, or by editing
  *** /etc/ld.so.conf. Make sure you have run ldconfig if that is
  *** required on your system.
  *** If pkg-config was wrong, set the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH
  *** to point to the correct configuration files
  no
  *** trying without -lgmodule

  *** If you don't have GLIB, you can get it from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/glib/
  *** We recommend you get the latest stable GLIB 2 version.
  *** Compile and install it, and make sure pkg-config finds it,
