Interesting, I don't see these errors here, on 10.5.5 Intel, Xcode 3.1.1.

Note that the libglade port is not this, you might be looking for libglade2
(which is 2.6.3).

I believe this was fixed with a newer version of libxml2, make sure that
port is up to date first.  Afterwards, use 'sudo port activate libglade2' to
finish this up.

Make sure you also have at least 2.4.1 of Xcode (or 2.5) as you will run
into issues with older versions.
