install problem on macosx 10.4

["Mike \"Caveman\" Lehmann" <mike sipeerior com>]

hi guys,
I'm doing a from-source installation on Mac OS X 10.4, and am in a bit
of a pickle.  Following the install guide, I first installed
atk-1.10.3, cairo-1.0.2, pango-1.10.4, and glib-2.8.6, among other
things.  Most of these appear to have installed in /usr/local/lib.

When I ran configure in gtk, I got this error message:

<snip>
checking for pkg-config... /sw/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for BASE_DEPENDENCIES... Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.8.5' but
version of GLib is 2.6.6
configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.8.5    atk >=
1.0.1    pango >= 1.9.0    cairo >= 0.9.2) were not met.
</snip>

I thought this odd, so the first thing I did was to go through teh
configure script, looking for search path entries that included
/usr/lib but not /usr/local/lib, and added the latter.  No dice.

I then looked in /usr/local/lib, and saw that while the tarball was
labelled 2.8.6, the lib was labelled 2.0.0.8.6, so I made a symbolic
link of that to libglib.2.8.6.dylib.  This also failed to make all of
my dreams come tue.

Has anyone run into something similar?  I'm pretty much positive that
the problem is with me, rather than with the distro.  Any help and/or
polite criticism is welcome.

thanks,
