[sylpheed:36959] Trying to compile Sylpheed 3.5.1 on CentOS 7

When I run ./configure, I get the following message:

checking for GLIB - version >= 2.8.0... no
*** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log
*** for the exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is
*** incorrectly installed. configure: error: Test for GLib failed.
*** See the 'INSTALL' for help.

I looked in the INSTALL file, but it didn't help too much. I did check
config.log and found:

---------------------------------------------
    configure:13206: checking for GLIB - version >= 2.8.0
    configure:13336: result: no
    configure:13364: gcc -o conftest -g -O2    conftest.c   >&5
    conftest.c:22:18: fatal error: glib.h: No such file or directory
      #include <glib.h>
                       ^
    compilation terminated.

    glibmm24-devel-2.56.0-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
    glibmm24-doc-2.56.0-1.el7.noarch.rpm

What do I need to do to be able to compile Sylpheed successfully?

Any suggestions?
