compiling help

[void]

Im pretty new to linux (ubuntu) and have been trying to compile xchat. ive done sudo apt-get install build-essential and also compiled and installed gtk+ and glib and pkg-config which were needed. now im getting the following error:

checking for pkg-config... /usr/local/bin/pkg-config
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.3...
*** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.10.3, but GLIB (2.10.2)
*** was found! If pkg-config was correct, then it is best
*** to remove the old version of GLib. You may also be able to fix the error
*** by modifying your LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable, or by editing
*** /etc/ld.so.conf. Make sure you have run ldconfig if that is
*** required on your system.
*** If pkg-config was wrong, set the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH
*** to point to the correct configuration files

can anyone help?

I tried apt-get but it couldnt find the xchat package. I want to compile it so i get a bit of practice. When i try to remove the old glib it says it has to remove a ton of different packages.

Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point at the correct glib location.

Where is the correct version of glib. Would it just be $ su Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH [some pathname]?
