I'm using Suse 9.1, and it's working fine here (of course :-)
You need to have the glib2-devel rpm installed:

jmayer@egg:~> rpm -qf /opt/gnome/lib/libgmodule.la
glib-devel-1.2.10-586

I'm somewhat astonished, that the build process tries to access
/usr/lib/libgmodule.la. Do you have remains from some do-it-yourself
glib2 builds lying around? In case installing the glib2-devel rpm
doesn't solve the problem, please send the output of configure (including
the configure options) and the file config.log.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
