I did not consciously install anything in /usr/local. Looking in
there, I see
* ClamXav directory. I could probably replace ClamXav with
clamav from MacPorts if I was willing to give up the UI.
* A "SourceGuard" directory which I don't recognize. All of its
files have Created, Modified and Accessed dates of 9/3/03.
These are not a problem. It's only things installed "directly" in /
usr/local (that is, that were compiled with --prefix=/usr/local or
which install into prefix /usr/local by default) which can cause
problems.
* A bin, include, lib, man and share directory. There are many
files in those directories.
These are the potentially problematic files, especially the bin,
include and lib directories.
OK. So how do I determine which of the 66 files in those three
directories are problematic? And, how do I ensure that if I make
files in those directories unavailable I won't break something else?
The include directory contains ONLY the dlfcn.h file. Its
Created, Modified and Accessed dates are all 5/8/02, which I find
interesting since the introduction date of the Power Mac G4 with
dual 1.25MHz processors is 8/13/02 and I bought mine in Feb
2003. So, I guess there is no way to know for sure when a file
was actually installed onto the disk.
Yeah, not sure what put that there. All you can be sure of is that
Apple does not provide anything in /usr/local, so it's definitely
third-party. MacPorts and Fink don't put anything there either.
It appears that Apple supplied an updated dlfcn.h in /usr/include. I
don't know why anyone would install such an old version of the file
if Apple is including an updated version.
I do wish I had a way to know when the file was installed on my Mac.
