Python bindings on Mac OS 10.9

[R. Victor Klassen]

So, not hearing back, I thought I’d re-try the jhbuild after the passage of several weeks’ time.

This time, it fails in pango. 

It appears that the error is:

error parsing file Pango-1.0.gir: Line 39, character 34: The attribute 'name' on the element 'type' must be specified

When I try to continue installing, ignoring the error, I get a mess of syntax errors, supposedly in <dirent.h> - don’t know whether these are real.

When, instead, I skip to the next module, the tail end of the messages look like this:

*** Checking out guile *** [55/56]
*** Skipping guile (package and dependencies not updated) *** [55/56]
*** module gnucash not built due to non buildable meta-gtk-osx-core *** [56/56]
*** module gnucash not built due to non buildable meta-gtk-osx-webkit *** [56/56]
*** module gnucash not built due to non buildable goffice *** [56/56]
*** the following modules were not built *** [56/56]
pango gtk+ meta-gtk-osx-core meta-gtk-osx-webkit goffice gnucash

… and guile is not found if I do a configure at this point.
