And I've had trouble in the past with MacPorts and/or Fink (can't remember exactly which one it was) installing libraries that were incompatible with other things I use and messing them up, so I've learned to be wary of them. Those problems were probably due to some unusual features of my setup, and wouldn't occur for most other people. But because I don't use those tools, I can't give any recommendations about how to troubleshoot them. All I can do is explain what works for me. -- Greg
