i've attached the glib2 main log for sudo port install glib2

The log says:

:info:build dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libncurses.5.dylib
:info:build   Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/msgfmt
:info:build   Reason: no suitable image found.  Did find:
:info:build     /usr/lib/libncurses.5.dylib: no matching architecture in universal wrapper

Sounds like there's a mismatch between the architectures of your ncurses port and your gettext port. For what architectures are they installed? To find out:

lipo -info /opt/local/lib/libncurses.dylib /opt/local/bin/msgfmt

For what architectures does MacPorts think they're installed? To find out:

port -v installed ncurses gettext

What kind of Mac do you have (specifically what processor), and what version of Xcode is installed?

[remix@…]

$ lipo -info /opt/local/lib/libncursesw.dylib /opt/local/bin/msgfmt
Non-fat file: /opt/local/lib/libncursesw.dylib is architecture: x86_64
Non-fat file: /opt/local/bin/msgfmt is architecture: x86_64

$ port -v installed ncurses gettext
The following ports are currently installed:
  gettext @0.18.1.1_2 (active) platform='darwin 10' archs='x86_64'
  ncurses @5.9_1 platform='darwin 10' archs='x86_64'

  Model Name:	iMac
  Model Identifier:	iMac11,1
  Processor Name:	Intel Core i5
  Processor Speed:	2.66 GHz

XCode Version 3.2.6 64-bit

Component versions
Xcode IDE: 1761.0
Xcode Core: 1809.0
ToolSupport: 1806.0

what would be my next steps?

That all looks ok... what about lipo -info /opt/local/lib/libncurses.dylib? (You showed libncursesw.dylib not libncurses.dylib)

[remix@…]

oh right,

i had to reactivate ncurses first sudo port -f activate ncurses

$ lipo -info /opt/local/lib/libncurses.dylib
Non-fat file: /opt/local/lib/libncurses.dylib is architecture: x86_64

now glib2 works!

thanks for guiding me through

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Oh, I missed in your earlier message that ncurses was not active. How then did you have the file /opt/local/lib/libncursesw.dylib? Have you perhaps not updated your ports in forever and therefore still have the old ncursesw port installed?

[remix@…]

yes, that's what happened. seems to be all working now.
