Open Source software assumes that this directory tree exists and is filled with useful and fitting software. Open Source software, like that managed by Fink, is written to look by default into that area for auxiliary software. New Open Source software to be installed would need to be patched first before configure or cmake could be invoked. > - /opt: got moved away Plays no role for Fink.

It's not part of any Mac OS X. (And presumingly it'll never be.) Look into the LOG files of your installations! Software installed by Mac OS X's /System/Library/CoreServices/Installer.app writes its deeds into the /Library/Receipts tree, to be retrieved by lsbom. > Hopefully, there is a sound fix! Reinstall Mac OS X and choose HFSX, the Apple file system with upper case and lower case characters in file names. Of course journaled. Save some part of the disk for Linux. Install Oracle's (formerly Sun's) Virtual Box (or any other non-free hardware virtualiser) and your preferred Linux in it. Then cleanly install Fink again – if still needed. (http://finkers.wordpress.com/2009/08/31/starting-anew/ describes how you can get back to the old state of installations.) Finally install a tracker that records all file changes (so that you could find out in the future at least *when* in time another libc6.5 or ldconfig file was installed). I think "GFS logger" is a good keyword for this Mac OS X API. -- Mit friedvollen Grüßen Pete No matter which way you ride, it's uphill and against the wind. – First Law of Bicycling ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
