are you trying to run qemu on windows or in fedora 16? your email is
ambiguous. i'm going to assume you are doing it on fedora 16.

your problems is most likely that you don't have the glib development
package installed. i believe the package you want to have installed is
glib2-devel. (i'm not a regular user of fedora and friends so i'm not
entirely sure on the package name).

if you are trying to do this on windows, i guess the same still applies
in that you need to get glib and the development files installed. i've
never used qemu on windows and there have been some reports of problems
with that recently.

good luck.
