As a quick hack you can always create a symbolic link so that the compiler 
finds the include file.

If you include a source file as follows

  #include <foobar.h>

this file must be present in /usr/include in order to be found. Thus, create a 
link like this:

  ln -s /usr/lib/glib/include/glibconfig.h /usr/include/glibconfig.h

and you should be done.

I guess it's a Debian problem. The glibc package should be responsible for its 
include files to be found without user intervention.
