Silly question: did you compile and install glib before you edited
/etc/ld.so.conf? If you did that, are you sure that /usr/local/bin is in
your path? To add it to your path:

  csh/tcsh: set path = ( /usr/local/bin $path ) ; rehash
  sh/bash: PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH ; export PATH

So what exactly is missing or is not found?

To uninstall gtk, simply type "make uninstall" in the gtk source
directory. Re-installing Linux is not neccessary, Linux is not like
Windows where you have to use the "three R method"[1] to get things done ;-).
