Note the combination of Glib 2.0 and Gtk 1.2.  This is a Bad Thing.

(excerpted from config.log)
GTHREAD_CFLAGS='-pthread
-I/nfs/hades.dgp/ondemand9/trendall/include/glib-2.0
-I/nfs/hades.dgp/ondemand9/trendall/lib/glib-2.0/include  '
GTHREAD_LIBS='-pthread -L/nfs/hades.dgp/ondemand9/trendall/lib
-lgthread-2.0 -lglib-2.0  '

This is wrong and indicates a problem with your installation of Glib. 
`configure` determines the values of these variables by running
`pkg-config --cflags gthread` and `pkg-config --libs gthread`.  You
should get stuff relating to glib-1.2, *NOT* glib-2.0.  You should have
to run `pkg-config --cflags gthread-2.0` to pick up Glib 2 stuff.  So,
your installation of Glib is screwed up in some way.
