Peter,

Neither the MacPorts project nor the Fink project recommend mixing files from 
the two.  We're not trying to be difficult about this, it's just that keeping 
the incompatibilities among things within our *own* distributions is hard 
enough, without worrying about incompatibilities from the other distribution as 
well.

So don't be surprised when the volunteers on this list who offer their help 
free of charge are not eager to plunge in to difficulties you encounter when 
mixing the two projects gives you unexpected results.  Most people who mix the 
projects do so accidentally, so one of the standard bits of advice offered here 
is "disable macports during fink builds and vice versa."

I'm happy to hear that you've been able to get things to work together under 
some circumstances, and sorry that you're having trouble in others, but you may 
well be the only person who has tried to get a setup like this to work, so you 
may not find too much assistance for your troubles.
