Remove /usr/local? I must have missed this in the documentation, can you point me please? I thought the whole reason for living under /opt/local was *not* to interfere with /usr/local. How exactly does having /usr/local interfere? Things from macports silently picking up things from /usr/local? Is that the problem? > I don't install things there, but there are things in there > (mostly from Mac OS) that I'd like to keep and use. Yes, I have things in /usr/local too - stuff that is _not_ in macports (otherwise I would just install it from macports - and have it installed under /opt/local), and local admin tools. It would be a PITA to make that disappear during every macports action (not that it's very often) ... _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
