(Only partly true for Fink since it's typically binary packages, but it can still screw up the others.) This is not really a bug, more a fact of life: if any of them try to use anything installed by the others, you end up with a complete mess. (Just try convincing ALL the upstream packages to not search anywhere they can think of for their dependencies. We all try, often unsuccessfully; configure is just too smart/persistent.) I'm surprised MacPorts didn't complain about /usr/local. Maybe you haven't tried to install anything yet? -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates [email protected] [email protected] unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
