Seems like something didn't work right in configure. Search on glib in config.log and see if any errors turned up. As usual, I haven't tried against SDK10.4u yet... I didn't encounter that problem with SDK10.5 or SDK10.6.

There's another problem in gobject-introspection that I encountered yesterday, but I haven't done the patch for it yet. test/Makefile and test/scanner/Makefile use `install -m 644 -D $src $(DESTDIR)$(pkgdir)/gobject-introspection-0.9.3/$src", but OSX's install doesn't have a -D option. The correct thing to do, of course, is $(mkinstalldirs) followed by $(install_sh).
