I have had a couple of times the error caused by Fink looking in /usr/local
for libs before looking in Fink. The faq
http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/comp-general.php#usr-local-libs
provides a solution for this but that is somewhat of a pain to have to move
the folder each time I want to install a package. Is there something else I
can do that is a bit more permanent?
Make a fink package of whatever you're installing locally, and contribute it? =)
Other than that, you could make a script that wraps fink but first moves everything out of /usr/local out of the way automatically, or something along those lines. Heck, sometimes you don't even need to move it, depending on what you have there and what you're installing, but it's generally a bad idea to do so.
Not sure I have much else in the way of suggestions. Unless we can change the way gcc looks for stuff, /usr/local is always going to be an issue.
-- We put a lot of thought into our defaults. We like them. If we didn't, we would have made something else be the default. So keep your cotton-pickin' hands off our defaults. Don't touch. Consider them mandatory. "Mandatory defaults" has a nice ring to it.
