Error Building Cairo

OK:

$ sudo port -f deactivate librsvg libspectre popler

jaspersmbp:~ jasper$ sudo port clean cairo--->  Cleaning cairo

Then it continued building. Then I had to deactivate libelf to get glib or
glib2 to build. Then I had to reactivate librsvg to get another port to
update. After doing some more upgrading I managed to get all up and
running. Also reactivated most if not all deactivated ports. If I do bump
into another issue I will let you know
