libgmodule.so errors when installing kde3.5

[fitzgera]

I have been trying to emerge kde-meta and I keep on getting libgmodule.so errors when the system is trying to compile gtk+-1.2.10-r11. I have searched the forums for solutions and I have not found much. One of the suggestions was to rebuild glibc and glib but this has not been of much help.

Thanks

checking for extra flags for POSIX compliance... none needed
checking for glib-config... /usr/bin/glib-config
checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.8... no
*** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB was incorrectly installed
*** or that you have moved GLIB since it was installed. In the latter case, you
*** may want to edit the glib-config script: /usr/bin/glib-config
configure: error:
*** GLIB 1.2.8 or better is required. The latest version of GLIB
