Libbonobo fails to build

[RMADv3@…]

I'm trying to build Inkscape and the build process stops when it trie to build libbonobo. Here's the output.

Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libgobject-2.0.0.dylib
  Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/orbit-idl-2
  Reason: Incompatible library version: orbit-idl-2 requires version 1901.0.0 or later, but libgobject-2.0.0.dylib provides version 1801.0.0

I actually get a OS crash window when that happens.

My system is a Powerbook G4 running Mac OS 10.4.11.

What's the output from running the following commands?

port provides /opt/local/lib/libgobject-2.0.0.dylib
port installed glib*

I ran that and I got this:

/opt/local/lib/libgobject-2.0.0.dylib is provided by: glib2

and:

The following ports are currently installed:
  glib2 @2.18.2_0+universal
  glib2 @2.18.3_0+darwin_8+universal (active)
  glibmm @2.18.1_0 (active)

I had the GTK2 framework installed elsewhere on my system (from before I installed MacPorts). I suspected that may have been the cause. But since deleting that, it still gives me that error.

Fixed it. Deactivated glib2 and installed glib2-devel. libbonobo built and installed without incident.

So for the record: libbonobo requires glib2-devel, not glib2.

[blb@…]

glib2-devel definitely shouldn't be a requirement, did you have it installed in the past? It sounds as if your orbit2 port was built against glib2-devel, then other bits against just glib2.

orbit2 was compiled long before I had glib-devel installed. So I agree with you that it doesn't make much sense that orbit2 (and a few other components) would suddenly require glib-2.19, rather than glib-2.18. However, libbonobo wouldn't build until I finally installed glib2-devel (2.19) and de-activated glib2 (2.18). Once I did that, it built with no problems whatsoever.

I'm going to uninstall libbonobo, de-activate glib2-devel, activate glib2, and try re-installing orbit2. Then I'll try building libbonobo. If it fails with an exception thrown at me relating to orbit2, then the problem must stem from orbit2.

[RMADv3@…]

libbonobo built without incident. I de-activated glib2-devel and re-activated glib2. I then upgraded libidl. I uninstalled orbit2 and re-installed it. Then I rebuilt libbonobo. No errors. So the problem seems to have stemmed from either orbit2 or libidl.

I think this is probably ancient history by now.
