There's a dependency. :) Because glib11-devel could be anything from 1.1.4 up to 1.1.16 (well, I think the library version number may have been bumped once or twice to break up that space) and if it's too old (read: not equal to the version of gtk11-devel you're installing) the dependency check will pass, but it with either not compile, or compile but give weird runtime problems. I think ports like this where the developers frequently break backwards compatability within the same minor version number should have their library version bumped for each release - e.g. glib-1.1.16 has libglib11-devel.so.16, etc. That solves the dependency problem..
