Apparently glib needs to know where you installed gettext. You can tell
it by using

   env CPPFLAGS=-I/your/install-dir/include LDFLAGS=-L/your/install-dir/lib \
   ./configure

instead of

   ./configure

Or maybe this works as well:

   ./configure --with-libintl-prefix=/your/install-dir

For more info, please look at the INSTALL file of glib.
