The OSXGNU package manager belongs to a completely different system than Fink. As far as I can tell, it will install things into the "traditional" Unix location of /usr/local. Since Fink installs into its own directory (the default is /sw), the two can be used together, in principle. In practice, though, there are some things you could install into /usr/local which would interfere with Fink. For a beginner, I would recommend sticking with one or the other (and obviously, I prefer Fink!). -- Dave _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
