Installation of GLib Networking

Install GLib Networking by running the following commands: 

./configure --prefix=/usr \
            --libexecdir=/usr/lib/glib-networking \
            --with-ca-certificates=/etc/ssl/ca-bundle.crt \
            --disable-static &&
make

To test the results, issue: make -k check. Note that some tests fail due to recent changes in GnuTLS.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

Command Explanations

--with-ca-certificates=/etc/ssl/ca-bundle.crt: This parameter specifies where the trusted root certificates are located.
