In the future, please use WikiFormatting, fill in the Port field and Cc the port maintainer(s).

You need to attach the main.log so we can see what happened. Please clean pango and try again. If it fails to build, attach the new main.log and re-open this ticket.

I am having the same problem. I attached the main.log file.

I am having the same problem.

Since the original reporter did not provide a log file, there is no way for us to know what the original problem was.

But the error shown in your log is:

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

pango uses gobject-introspection. The error means that a gobject-introspection library could not load a libffi library. This is because libffi was updated in r93823 and the new version has a new library version number (libffi.6.dylib). So all ports using gobject-introspection need to be rebuilt. We increased the revision of many ports using libffi, including gobject-introspection, in r93824, so if your ports are up to date you should not be seeing this problem. Please run:

sudo port selfupdate
port outdated
sudo port upgrade outdated

Then try again. If you still get this same error, force gobject-introspection to rebuild again:

sudo port -n upgrade --force gobject-introspection

Worked like a charm (didn't have to force). Many thanks for your super fast response !
