Are you certain?  Most tarballs have the default installation root set
to /usr/local.  This is the "./configure --prefix=/usr/local".  To force
them into the normal spots, "./configure --prefix=/usr" should do it.

If glib truly got put where you say it was, those are the standard
locations.  You may have to rebuild the ld.so cache for it to see the
new libraries.  Try "ldconfig -v" and verify that the new libraries were
found in the output of that command.  Then try your configure again.
Use "./configure --help" to get a listing of the various options.
