gobject-introspection needs to be rebuilt following libffi update

[mark@…]

I'm getting failure messages running sudo port install pango I've tried cleaning and trying again to no avail.

Error log:

Please attach the main.log file; the output you pasted above doesn't tell us anything. FWIW, pango installs fine for me on Mountain Lion.

Sorry, log attached now.

For anyone else following, I reinstalled gobject-introspection to get pango to install.

sudo port uninstall gobject-introspection
sudo port install gobject-introspection

I'm glad you got it working.

The log says:

:info:build ImportError: dlopen(/opt/local/lib/gobject-introspection/giscanner/_giscanner.so, 2): Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libffi.5.dylib

Rebuilding gobject-introspection is indeed the fix for that, but it should not have been necessary to do so manually.

libffi was updated to version 3.0.11 in r93823, which updated its library version from 5 to 6; all ports using libffi then needed a revbump to alert users that they need to be rebuilt. gobject-introspection received its revbump in r93824.
