[lug] Odd linking errors

[Trever M. Shick]

I'm pretty much a newbie to Linux development, but like gnome, there is a 
glib-config script that you can execute like:

gcc -c x.c `glib-config --cflags --libs whateverlibs`

that is supposed to create the gcc flags for compiling....
Maybe that will help?

let me know if I'm way off base because I'm trying to learn  myself.
