Hi,
Thanks for this advice, all of which was, indeed, relevant. I am in the process of phasing out of fink and into MacPorts and there have been some glitches because of the same software living in two places.
I think I have most things working and am only fighting now with an application we developed locally that depends on some gtk libraries I have from MacPorts (and had from fink).
But emacs is at least working!
Cheers, Rob
If you used the standard fink install location (/sw I think it is), you might try renaming the entire directory - then it at least won't be in your path and any links into it would show errors (you can always rename it back later). You might want to put /opt/local/bin first in your path (or at least after /bin and /sbin). Also, according to a post about darwinports and fink living together, the former will (or used to - post dates to 2003) sometimes put X-related applications in the X11 tree and not its own, which can (or used to) confuse fink (but I think this means that the fink installer might get confused, not necessarily the apps). Finally, if you are having problems with gtk, you may be able to get help from: http://developer.imendio.com/projects/gtk-macosx as well (and there is a nice report on porting the project to run on OS X natively [there is a quartz variant of gtk+, which I'm guessing is the one you probably ported.]) - M.
