wouldn't the system use '/opt/local/bin' instead of '/sw/bin' since it's first in 'PATH'?
No, fink cleans it's path before doing builds, precisely because of things like darwinports or hand-built libraries in /usr/local with bugs that cause compile issues.
Fink is designed to be self-contained, precisely because a lot of open-source software compiles in unusual or incompatible ways on OSX.
-- Benjamin Reed, a.k.a. Ranger Rick [EMAIL PROTECTED] / http://ranger.befunk.com/ 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.
