It should. I have not seen this error previously. The only other user
I can recall that had this problem symlinked libglib12.so to
libglib.so. However, this might not solve the libIDL problem.

Can you hunt through the makefiles to see which one has the -lglib and
figure out where it's coming from? It might help to determine why this
is happening.
