This happens when you're trying to compile a gtk# *older* than the
installed one... The installed version (probably gtk# 2.6 or 2.8) is
being picked up, and that version of "Pango.Context" doesn't convert to
the 2.4.x GLib.Object it's expecting.

Sounds like you don't need to be compiling this at all, as you already
have gtk#...
