I've seen you've figured it out yourself, sorry for the confusion. :)

For everybody who was wondering: The glib minor version numbers go
beyond 9, so version 2.16 is indeed newer than version 2.2.

Version 2.2 of glib was released in August 2003 AFAICT; at least this
version should be available on all major *nix platforms.

Version requirements for glib might rise in the long run, especially as
we prepare to replace cruft in the code with glib implementations. But
at least for the OpenVAS 1.0 and 2.0 series, glib 2.2 will be
sufficient.

But I can understand the configure error message might have lead to Stephans
misunderstanding, I'll try to improve that (again). Any suggestions?

Regards,

Michael
