Yes, it is possible for the people who packaged this Z88Aurora distribution to repackage it with files in a different location, and as we've discussed previously, that's what they must do to fix this conflict with MacPorts. >> To run Z88Aurora, you need the GTK+ package to be installed to /opt. >> I don’t know much about MacPorts, but how does the GTK+ package interfere >> with this?

Installing files to /opt/local does interfere with MacPorts; they must not install files there. They are welcome to invent another prefix of their own choosing into which to put their files. Directories under /opt are a common choice. /opt/z88 or /opt/aurora for example would be fine choices. /opt/local is a poor choice because that has already been chosen by MacPorts. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
