Hi. I've got glib 2.20.5 installed on my system through the package manager, but apparently that is not good enough to build the latest GIMP. I built the latest glib code from the git repo and installed it, but when I try to build GIMP the configure script keeps seeing the old gimp instead of the newer build.

Could somebody remind me of the proper environment variable settings? I installed glib with the default options, so I think everything went to /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/gimp-2.0/include.

Why don't you start again and follow http://www.gimpusers.com/news/2009-10-14/compiling-gimp-27-git-ubuntu-904-910.html

According to my INSTALL notes:

You need to have installed GTK+ version 2.18.1 or newer. GIMP also need a recent versions of GLib (>= 2.22.0) and Pango (>= 1.20.1). Sources for these can be grabbed from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/.

Oops. I see now that all this stuff is documented in the INSTALL file. I'm going to go change my name now. Again.
