Try commenting out some lines in your autogen.sh script. On my laptop
I don't need to do this, but on my PC I *must* do so (and I dunno
what's the cause of this). I have the following hack in my autogen.sh
script:

#if pkg-config gtk+-2.0 >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then
# rm -f aclocal-missing/gtk-2.0.m4
#else
 cp aclocal-fallback/gtk-2.0.m4 aclocal-missing/
#fi

Maybe you should try the same with the glib-2.0.m4 macros too (that's
the lines just above the ones quoted above).
