I have libffi installed and glib2 too. I never built glib2 from source, but I have glib stuff on /usr/local/include and /usr/local/bin. I tried downloading glib2 sources, ./autogen.sh and then "make uninstall" but that didn't fix the problem.
So I tried the "dirty way" with "rm /usr/local/bin/glib-compile-resources" and it worked.
I know I probably didn't do this the right way. What would have been the right way and what should I do now to fix it?

Progress on Unity under Arch Linux!
libunity in AUR
AUR on the wiki
And other relevant documentation.
