A while back I installed Nicotine and it crashed on me. Apparently, for some reason PyGTK was looking for its freetype libraries in Apple's /usr/X11R6/lib even though it required the Fink freetype libraries in /sw/lib/ in order to run properly.
So I hacked the problem by soft-linking the freetype.dylib references to the /sw/lib version, and Nicotine ran fine. But recently, when I tried installing kdelibs, the library link/load step caused the installation to die way at the beginning. So I pointed the soft links back to the Apple freetype libraries. Low and behold: not only does kdelib compile, link and load, but Nicotine now works with the Apple libraries as well.
Moral of the story 1: hacks will come back to bite you someday.
Moral of the story 2: Go figure why this stuff happens in the first place! I pour a libation to the Fink god every day, for making this all work somehow....
