It's possible to get Fink and MacPorts to work together, although I don't recommend it. Before we had ROOT in MacPorts, my wife and I got this to work on her machine for Particle Physics-y things. Homebrew however, does not really work and play well with others. If you want to use it, you really

I understand why installing in /usr/local can mess up macports, but macports doesn't have everything, and most third-party software wants to go into /usr/local. Where should this stuff go, if not /usr/local? Greg Shenaut ___ macports-users mailing

Hi, Actually, I don't think there is that much of a problem with installing software in /usr/local, the problem is the particular way that Homebrew does it by default, taking over /usr/local completely, and it's disregard for standard ownership and permissions. You're wrong on that one. The
