Compiling from source GLIB 2.46.2 - error


I'm trying to build glib 2.46.2 with libFFI, all of which is being done from my home directory. After a long fight, I finally got pkgconfig to see my libffi, but now I have a new error on which I'm entirely clueless:


2:17pm 15/03/2016 username system04 /usr/people/username/useraide/glib-2.46.2 :: make

I've never built glib before, so I don't know what's normal or how it generally looks. Has anyone else seen this error?

I'm compiling with GCC and Python 2.6

Please use code tags when you post source code or output.

Does /usr/bin/dtrace exist on your system?
