I may have installed MacPorts. I may have installed program X. Program X wants to use Y, and wants new version 24 1/2 of Y, while the system only has version 21. Now, I want to use Y version 21 for my stuff, and also use Y version 24 1/2 when X needs to use Y Can you come up with a good general solution for this? This requires more than just "modify the path in your login shell". This requires knowing that your execution path is context specific. -- Political and economic blog of a strict constitutionalist http://StrictConstitution.BlogSpot.com _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
