gobject-introspection: configure fails

[lcr@…]

I am trying to install Pallet on a MacPro3,1 running Mavericks 10.9.2, MacPorts 2.2.1, and Xcode 5.1. The installation encounters errors. Here is the transcript.

The output shows Pallet is already successfully installed, but after that, gobject-introspection was found to be broken and MacPorts tried to rebuild it, and that failed. Please attach gobject-introspection's main.log so that we can see why it failed.
