atk fails to build because of broken GLIB

[martijn@…]

I am unable to install py25-gtk due to a broken GLIB. Cleaning up and even a complete fresh install of MacPorts did not cure it.

 sudo port install py25-gtk

What version of glib2 do you have installed? glib2-2.20.0_0 is the lastest version.

According to the error you quoted the error is coming from the atk build, have you checked config.log, as the error suggests? (It'll be in port dir atk/work/)
