It's not exactly a mortal sin, but it can cause problems. The way the linker in OS X is designed, it is extremely difficult if not impossible to hide things in /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib from the search paths used to locate libraries and headers (and presumably python-ish stuff as well). This is why fink chose to do its own installs in a separate location, and its also why we recommend against installing non-fink software in those locations. You say you have things in /usr/lib rather than /usr/local/lib? That makes this very difficult... If your only non-fink third party software was in /usr/local/lib, we could simply tell you to try "mv /usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib.bak; fink install foo; mv /usr/local/lib.bak /usr/local/lib". However, you can't move /usr/lib out of the way like that, without breaking lots of stuff :( -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Oracle to DB2 Conversion Guide: Learn learn about native support for PL/SQL, new data types, scalar functions, improved concurrency, built-in packages, OCI, SQL*Plus, data movement tools, best practices and more. http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
