I should have mentioned that I did an archival install, which may be part of it. But yes, it trashes all of /usr/local. This is probably why darwin ports installs into /opt, which didn't seem to get trashed. I haven't had a chance to re-install fish yet, but maybe I should install it to /opt/ for next time :> -Nick ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
