Actually, Skip, you're talking about my world there (X11 and GNU Emacs and Gimp and ...), and I don't use Fink or MacPorts on my Macs. > Fink or MacPorts are often a practical necessity. Fink is deadly, MacPorts much more benign, in my experience. Which is several years out-of-date, before I realized I didn't need either one of them, and before the UNIX community started adding configure patches to support OS X builds more widely. Perhaps they've improved. In any case, they shouldn't be needed on buildbots maintained by the PSF. > Would it be sufficient to modify the environment so that /sw, /opt/local and > /usr/local don't appear in any paths when the script is run?

Probably fine on your personal Mac. And the build scripts can probably mask those out on their own.
