You shouldn't be needing these extra flags. It's probably not very
clever of cabal to suggest that you pass these flags if a library
cannot be found since these are all libraries whose locations can be
queried using pkg-config. If pkg-config doesn't work, it's unlikely
that you get all the flags right that pkg-config would output.

I'm a bit puzzled here as to the set of C libraries that pkg-config is
trying to find here. There's no glade-2.0 on my machine, only a
libglade-2.0. I've never heard of gtk-1.0, the first version is not
needed and I think is called gtk. Instead gtk+-2.0 is missing.
Could you look at the glade.cabal file, maybe we've messed that up
somehow? We've separated out the glade module in order to focus on the
main packages, although I thought that it built alright when we did
that.

Why is libxml2 it installed in a path with a space? That could be
problematic.
