If it's an installer package, you'll find Bom files. It's a set structure, so you should be able to track down just what all is installed. xar works like tar, so you can list with -t or extract with -x into a temporary directory. lsbom on each Bom file will show you what's going to be installed on each of them. > I've no specific X Windows stuff installed by MacPorts You're probably fine then, but check the file list with xar/lsbom. > & only a few > incidentals that have been dragged along as dependencies & without > installing the binary I can't really tell where it's going to put stuff > but I'm hoping that it wouldn't be into /opt/local anyway. > > Any help, thoughts & advice appreciated. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
