The fact that the code was looking for something called glib12-config (note the "2") should have been something of a tiny clue as to what the problem was. The second tiny clue would have been found in the devel/glib13 Makefile: >>>>> NO_LATEST_LINK= "Unstable, development version." >>>>> Now, rip glib-1.3.1 (and gtk-1.3.x if installed) out of your system, install glib/gtk 1.2.8 (*stable* versions), and everything will be just fine, and I'll feel a lot better. (You'll notice that bento, which uses 1.2.8, seems to have no problem building this package, always a good first step to check before having a problem with something).
