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.
I have only glib2 @2.14.4_1 I have to install an old glib without that bug but it doesn't seem to be very easy( i'm trying anyway ;) )
Well I am not sure that would evn help: MacPorts uses MacPorts installed software so I don't think that installing glib outside of MacPorts would help. You could install it via macports though: - port edit glib2 - fetch the address where glib is downloaded and go there, download the previous release - md5 previous-glib-release.tar.gz - change the port file to match the old version number and the md5 checksum - sudo port install glib2
But skimming the bug report in MacPorts' Trac there seem to be other solutions.
BTW, did you update macports, maybe a fix is in already: sudo port sync sudo port selfupdate
No, I tried before :(
OK :(
