Will do.

Fixed! 
My .cshrc sets the environment variable 
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH /sw/lib/fontconfig2/lib:/sw/lib/freetype219/lib
I do not remember why I set this. At any rate, on 10.8.X, setting this variable 
causes /usr/sudo to generate an annoying warning message:
dyld: DYLD_ environment variables being ignored because main executable 
(/usr/bin/sudo) is setuid or setgid

To get rid of this message, I renamed sudo as sudo-real, created a wrapper sudo 
that calls sudo-real with setuid. Apparently, this messed up with fink (and 
other stuff). So I simply removed the wrapper and renamed sudo-real back as 
sudo. I still get the annoying message, but it does not break anything, yet.

Many thanks for the help!
