Thanks! In addition, I agree with Jan Stary that it would be nice to amend the #defaultprefix: section in the FAQ. If possible, it would also be nice to also add this to the "A port fails to build. What should I do?" section in the FAQ, as the section title of #defaultprefix is "Why is /opt/local the default install location for MacPorts?" and if a port fails to build for me, I probably wouldn't realize that pertinent information is in that section. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
