Are you perhaps looking for libglib2.0-dev? Development libraries are 
sometimes hard to find, so you have to be persistent and creative. :)

If you're building from deb source packages (or building a newer version 
of something that is in our repos) then it's easier: apt-get build-dep 
<package> will do the trick.
