One thing to keep in mind here is that only default variants are currently built; if you use +universal for everything, or other widely pervasive variants like +no_x11 +quartz, it usually won't find anything prebuilt and will have to install manually. Likewise, if you use a non-default prefix (that is, not /opt/local), it will always build from source: very few upstream software packages provide for the possibility of runtime relocation, so MacPorts doesn't bother trying to support it. -- brandon s allbery [email protected] wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms
