The problem is that you have ports that rely on the OLDER version of
the library than that installed by the current port.  This is because
you didn't upgrade them properly.  When you upgrade a port like glib,
you need to also upgrade everything that depends on glib.  The easiest
way to do this is using a tool like portupgrade (Michael will tell you
to use portmanager :-)

P.S. The symlinks you created may cause the application to be
unstable, since the new and old libraries are not identical and do not
have the same interface.
