The glib-2.0.7{-13,-15,-25,-28,-29}.src.rpm packages from RedHat's ftp site have all built (/w pgcc v1.1a), installed (RH v5.1), and run without error for me. Not only are Foyer's RPMs peculiar in having some undefined symbols, but they're *old* too. Best to just get the most recent code and build it yourself.
