Yes, I can easily avoid this by "port edit corefiles" and drop "program-prefix" but I thought if most of the MacPorts users wouldn't want "g", it might be better to fix this portfile.
No need to edit it manually, use port install coreutils +with_default_names This will install the binaries with the default names, i.e. without the prefix "g".
So let me ask this, "Do you like to have gls, guniq in your /opt/local/bin? Is there any case that removing "g" prefix causes any problems?
I think they are by default off because you expect ls from BSD and not from GNU on Mac OS X by default. It might break other shell scripts. Rainer
