The error comes from that above. The advice in the bug report was to reinstall an old version of glib2 *if you had one*. When MacPorts installs a new version of some package it does not uninstall previous versions, it just deactivates them and activates the new one. Hence if you have a problem with the recent version you can always go back to the previous on. But if you are on a fresh install, you do not have a previous version, hence nowhere to go back to. port installed glib2 should tell you wether you have alternative versions installed. For example I have: $ port installed glib2 The following ports are currently installed: glib2 @2.14.3_0 (active) Which means I only have one version of glib2 and that it is currently active. If I had several you would have seen: $ port installed glib2 The following ports are currently installed: glib2 @2.14.2_0 glib2 @2.14.3_0 (active) for example. I would have deactivated version 2.14.3_0 and activated 2.14.2_0.
So back to what you did: you deactivated glib2 but did not reactivate another version, meaning that you left your system without glib and the rest of the errors are caused by this.
There were some other advice in the thread on how to fix the problem I think. You may want to look into them now.
BTW, did you update macports, maybe a fix is in already: sudo port sync sudo port selfupdate
Good luck.
