	Installing (and using) portupgrade is a good idea;
unfortunately, it will not stop you from getting bit by this problem
occasionally.
	My quick fix:

	pd /usr/ports/devel/glib20
	make deinstall
	make install
	<assuming in stall finished correctly> make distclean
	popd
	
	(Assumes *csh as the shell.)
