Configuration problem under woody

[Oliver White <ojw iinet net au>]

Hi there folks. I'm trying to install the tar.gz of balsa 1.0.0 on a
debian(woody) i386 system. I'm getting this error when running
./configure -

checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.0... no
*** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log
for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB was incorrectly
installed
*** or that you have moved GLIB since it was installed. In the latter
case, you
*** may want to edit the glib-config script: /usr/bin/glib-config
configure: error: You need GLib installed -- GNOME requires this as
well.

However, I do have the package libglib1.2-dev installed. A gentleman,
'Robert', on #gnome suggested it might be a conflict with libraries
downloaded from ftp.debian.org. However, the helix glib packages have
the same problem.

I've attatched the log of the configuration process.
