gimp2: Error: GIMP configuration failed

[squiggledid]

Port gimp2 fails during configuration on MacOS 10.14.6 with the error message:

--->  Configuring gimp2
Error: Failed to configure gimp2: consult /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_graphics_gimp2/gimp2/work/gimp-2.10.28/config.log
Error: Failed to configure gimp2: configure failure: command execution failed
Error: See /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_graphics_gimp2/gimp2/main.log for details.
Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets if you believe there
is a bug.
Error: Processing of port gimp2 failed

I tried cleaning and trying again. Same result. I uninstalled and then tried installing again. Same result. I will attach the main.log and the config.log.

The main.log says the problem is:

:info:configure Error: GIMP configuration failed.
:info:configure   - PyGTK 2.10.4 or newer
:info:configure       *** Please install it, or skip building the python scripting extension by
:info:configure       *** passing --disable-python to configure (but then you will not be able
:info:configure       *** to use scripts for GIMP that are written in Python).
:info:configure See the file 'INSTALL' for more help.

The config.log explains further:

configure:34397: checking for pygtk-2.0 >= 2.10.4
configure:34404: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "pygtk-2.0 >= 2.10.4"
Variable 'PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX' not defined in '/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/pkgconfig/pygtk-2.0.pc'
configure:34407: $? = 1
configure:34421: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "pygtk-2.0 >= 2.10.4"
Variable 'PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX' not defined in '/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/pkgconfig/pygtk-2.0.pc'
configure:34424: $? = 1
configure:34438: result: no
Variable 'PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX' not defined in '/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/pkgconfig/pygtk-2.0.pc'

What happens if you run:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/pkgconfig pkg-config --exists --print-errors "pygtk-2.0 >= 2.10.4"; echo $?

On my system the result is

0

meaning no error, but I wonder if you get a different result. If so, maybe try forcibly uninstalling and then reinstalling py27-pygtk.

I also noted these errors in the main.log which probably also indicate something wrong:

:info:configure checking for matting engine Levin... GEGL-Message: 10:04:05.538: Module '/opt/local/lib/gegl-0.4/ff-save.dylib' load error: dlopen(/opt/local/lib/gegl-0.4/ff-save.dylib, 10): Library not loaded: @rpath/libgio-2.0.0.dylib

:info:configure   Referenced from: /opt/local/lib/libavcodec.58.dylib

(The use of @rpath seems wrong to me.)
