py25-gobject-2.16.1 Build error - duplicate symbol _g_bit_nth_ls

[Alain.Jorissen@…]

On a Mac Intel (OSX 10.5.7 and Xcode 3.1), I got the error

ld: duplicate symbol _g_bit_nth_lsf in .libs/_gobject_la-pygboxed.o and .libs/_gobject_la-gobjectmodule.o

while trying to build py25-gobject

I am surprised since this error was reported in relation with glib2 while building pango (ticket #13123) and atk (ticket #13140). All three did compile without any problem prior to making py25-gobject.
So why is it popping up at a later stage while constructing py25-gobject?

Any clue?

It compiles fine for me with Xcode 3.1.2. Please try the following:

sudo port clean py25-gobject
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port upgrade outdated
sudo port install py25-gobject

There must be something wrong somewhere with my system installation, since I can't even upgrade to Macports 1.710

sudo port selfupdate

returns:

Are you still having a problem selfupdating MacPorts? Are you still having a problem building the latest py25-gobject?
