You need to reply all so the whole list gets the thread: good for archiving
and in case anyone has additional input.

Is there an environment variable that searches for libraries (like PATH
for bins)?
I looked in MacPorts and it doesn't <explicitly> provide it.
Well, yes, macports should have tweaked your path at install time.
/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
PATH="/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin"
export PATH
MANPATH=${MANPATH}:/opt/local/share/man
export MANPATH
INFOPATH=${INFOPATH}:/opt/local/share/info
export INFOPATH
OK, first off, run port selfupdate: that will get you to version 1.442. It
will download all the updated portfiles as well. Next, install libiconv with
the force option: it may be installed, as it having all the parts in place,
but it's not registered so the ports system will keep complaining.
so:
[Users/paul] > version
Version: 1.442
[Users/paul] > selfupdate
<time passes>
[Users/paul] >install -f libiconv
<time passes>
[Users/paul] > install ruby
my concern is this fails is that having fink and macports co-existing
somehow messed things up.
