I emerged gnome-2.12.1
The portage took care of all the dependencies except
glib which should be >=2.8.0

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively you may set the GNOME_DESKTOP_CFLAGS and GNOME_DESKTOP_LIBS
environment variables
to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for
more details.
