Of course it's possible.i think it's great that fink has ported all this unix software for macs. however, i don't like the UI of having to install special software on my machine to get it, and i also don't like that it's not installed in /usr/local. as a consequence, i'm wondering whether it's possible to just download the ported code and compile it myself, w/o installing the fink package management system. i'm only interested in getting mutt. is this possible?
Good luck!
Fink exists to make these things easier, by encapsulating all the busywork of patching, configuring and compiling it yourself. You can install fink in /usr/local if that is what you really want. Not really much reason to do so, and it is actually a bad idea IMO.
If you want help on how not to use fink, why would you ask on a fink list?
