After following Nelson’s advice, this error came up, towards the end:

    It seems it can’t find the dtrace command, and according to glib building docs:

    • The optional support for DTrace requires the sys/sdt.h header, which is provided by SystemTap on Linux. To build GLib without DTrace, use
      the –disable-dtrace configure option.

    • The optional support for SystemTap can be disabled with the –disable-systemtap configure option.

    So if you’re not interested in SystemTap support, just disable it when running configure, like so:

    configure --disable-dtrace  --disable-systemtap
