But you need to use the command line tools, it is not available in the GUI. I've been told by Apple personnel that this works, though I've not tried it, or quite figured out how to do it.

But chances are they are in different locations anyway: just make sure you install in /usr/local, as everyone should have done anyway ... right? ;-) -- Chris Nandor [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pudge.net/ Open Source Development Network [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://osdn.com/
