This is indeed interesting, and I would say it is a bug in Fink. On the other hand, installing third-party stuff into /usr/lib is a very bad thing to do anyway, so the bug should normally not be triggered (but do we know what kind of weird things Apple will install there if the mood hits them?) -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
