If you get unresolved symbols when linking this is most likely due to
an error with libtool.

In sysdeps/linux/Makefile.am there is this line:

	libgtop_sysdeps_la_LIBADD	= @GLIB_LIBS@

which adds the dependency of glib to the libtool library
`sysdeps/linux/libgtop_sysdeps.la' - if this works there should be
a line like this in it:

	# Libraries that this one depends upon.
	dependency_libs=' -L/home/baulig/INSTALL/lib -lglib'

This means if you link something against `libgtop_sysdeps.la' you'll
automatically get glib as well.
