Another place to look would be in /sw/bin -- some packages put configure scripts you can run in that directory, and they might have / usr/local coded in them.

Try that, and I'll send you the script in a separate message.

Looks like none of the .la files contain "/usr/local". A simple grep of all files in the /sw/lib directory brings up 3 files (and 3 symbolic links to them). The libsvn_repos file must just be for the svn package, which I will try reinstalling. The other two are libwwwapp and libwwwcore. Any idea what package that might belong to? Or you could send me your perl script.

Thanks,

The excerpt that I posted already contains the first occurrence of / usr/local in your output, and it otherwise appears not significantly different from a build on my own system until that point; so there's probably no need to repost it.

I would hazard a guess that you may have a "tainted" libtool archive file (.la file) in your Fink tree (meaning one that references /usr/local), and that's setting how things build. Try the following one-liner

find /sw/lib -name "*.la" | xargs grep -l /usr/local | xargs dpkg - S | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq

That should tell you which packages, if any, need to be rebuilt; though there may be a few that don't make .la files which will take some more detective work to find. I've got a perl script that I can send you offlist that you could potentially use for that purpose.

That makes sense. Moving /usr/local didn't seem to work. Any other thoughts? Should I repost my request to the fink-devel list with just an exerpt of the output (since the log file was too long)?

Thanks,

Thanks for your help! I'll give that a try. Sorry for the cross-post, I was just trying to follow the directions.

Sure--those are general directions; and it's not clear-cut how to proceed when the package is "maintained" by one of the fink lists. I usually just send it to the "maintainer" in that case.
