Er... Meaning you got a linker error? Either something's missing in your
build setup (i.e., glib), or something's amiss with your installation.
On my system:

        $ nm -D /usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so | grep g_io_channel_new_file
        0000003a86c4dbd0 T g_io_channel_new_file

I haven't tried to use g_io_channel_new_file. I used
g_io_channel_unix_new because using pipes seemed like the appropriate
way to accomplish what I wanted. While I suppose you could do it by
writing to/reading from a file, I'd expect it to be less efficient and
more trouble.
