Normally the package managers will not install the latest unstable 
versions of GLib, but only the stable versions that they support for 
their distribution release.  So, you will need to build and install the 
latest unstable (2.53.x) version of GLib (make sure that you don't try 
to overwrite the GLib that your package manager provides, so you install 
it in a private location such as $HOME/gnome.build.unstable), and then 
when you build gobject-introspection, you need to prepend your 
./autogen.sh with PKG_CONFIG_PATH= and LD_LIBRARY_PATH=, like:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/gnome.build.unstable/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/gnome.build.unstable/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH 
./autogen (...whatever options you have)

Then you should be able to build and install it properly.

With blessings, and cheers!
