Thanks for helping, but it still doesn't work properly...

I tried disabling it, and now glib compiles... but it doesn't seem to work right,
because I can't compile gtk+. When I run ./configure on gtk+, it says:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.8... no
*** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB was incorrectly installed
*** or that you have moved GLIB since it was installed. In the latter case, you
*** may want to edit the glib-config script: /usr/local/bin/glib-config
configure: error:
*** GLIB 1.2.8 or better is required. The latest version of GLIB
*** is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I went looking for the "pthread" lib, but I only found a Win32 version. Is that
the one I'm supposed to use? It comes with a .lib file and a few .h files... what
do I do with those? Or do I need another version of that lib?
