Now I'm wondering, where does it get /sw from? ;-)
OK, temporarily renaming /sw made qucs and its dependencies
build fine. Question is, why hasn't this been a problem with
earlier versions of qucs (or other ports)?
I checked the previous version of qucs, 0.0.13, and it also
explicitly mentions /sw in its configure script. So maybe this hasn't
been a problem for you before because you did not have qt3 installed
within Fink before.
As to other ports, most of them probably do not explicitly mention /
sw in their configure scripts.
I'm sure it's a tricky situation for software developers: if they do
add paths like /sw and /opt/local to their configure scripts, they
make it easy for people to install their software manually and get
dependencies from a package manager. However, by doing this, they
make it more difficult to add their software to that package manager...
