I did try sudo port selfupdate but doesn't help. I'm running the latest version of MacOSX Lion

Thanks.

Same here. I tried fixing this by manually installing pkgconfig (which I had uninstalled at some point), but I was unable to install pkgconfig because it requires glib2, d'oh.

The error looks different, but I believe this is a duplicate of #32185.

In future, please search for existing tickets, and when filing tickets, do use WikiFormatting and Cc the port's maintainer. High priority is at the discretion of MacPorts team members.
