How to upgrade glib library

[gr@ss_h@pper]

I am on Ubuntu-10.04. While trying to compile a software, the configure script gave me following error:
"configure: error: libglib-2.16 or later is required"

Synaptic package manager shows the installed version as libglib2.0-0.
But there is no option available to upgrade it. Now how should I upgrade libglib to the latest version?

Thanks,

I didn't have the package libglib2.0-dev. Installed this one and compilation went fine :)
