Libraries come in two parts - the compiled code (.so files) and the
headers (.h files).

To run a compiled binary you only need the .so files but to compile from
source you also need the headers (which includes the glib-config command).

Eg, if you're on an RPM system, you need glib-devel (and gtk+-devel)
installed.
