Thanks, Allin!

I'll give that a try.

Secondly, there's no point in building/installing obsolete "unstable" versions of the libraries in question (e.g. glib 2.27.93): use current stable versions, which for glib means 2.28.7 or 2.30.2.

I picked 2.27.93 because the gtk+ 2.24 configure told me I needed glib 2.27 or greater. I figured getting the latest sub-release of 2.27 would (1) get me the most stable 2.27 [...]

In the GTK world, odd "minor" version numbers (such as 27 in this context) indicate "unstable" development releases. Thus the 2.27 development phase led to the stable release of glib 2.28, and the most recent bug-fix variant of glib-2.28 is 2.28.7, so that would be the version of choice -- if you want to avoid possible dependency issues in updating to the current stable version, 2.30.
