Some packages have an uninstall target in their makefile, which should 
remvoe anything the install target installed. I don't know about GLIB, but 
it just might have one of those :)

If not, try an install of the old version setting a DESTDIR on the make 
command line (e.g. ``make DESTDIR=/tmp install''). This will get you the 
tree of installed files to seek & destroy.

If that doesn't work either, I have no idea.. (I'd just install the new 
version over the old one, perhaps slightly polluting the installation, but 
is usually doesn't matter much..)
