Re: [Fink-users] OpenOffice.organd fink: any gotchas?

Possibly.   One thing to keep in mind, as well:  when I last installed 
OO, it used ESP ghostscript, which lacks X support, even though OO uses 
X.  LyX (and possibly some other applications) likes to look in 
/usr/local/bin first for external binaries;  it of course decided that 
ghostscript in /usr/local was the one to use, and the lack of X support 
caused me a lot of grief, and an embarrassing post on the list.

The symlink idea avoids this.  For people using an X-enabled 
ghostscript installed in /usr/local/bin (the gimp-print-installed 
ghostscript that Adrian mentioned?)  there should be no such problem.

In which case one could sym-link the appropriate binaries from
/sw/bin to /usr/local, couldn't one?
