Just out of curiosity, I've been poking my nose in the various Tcl packages which implement the port command and the following condition found at the end of darwinports_fastload.tcl (in /Library/ Tcl/darwinports1.0) strikes me as very odd

if { "/usr/lib/sqlite3" != "" } { set dir "/usr/lib/sqlite3" catch {source [file join $dir pkgIndex.tcl]} }

Isn't it a typo ?

It probably makes more sense if you look at the original source of the file, in base/src/darwinports1.0/darwinports_fastload.tcl.in [1] where you'll see if { "@SQLITE3_DIR@" != "" } { It's actually a configure-time setting, so the installed version that you've seen looks a bit funny...

I suppose the intended condition is rather something like: if { [file exists "/usr/lib/sqlite3"] && [file isdirectory "/usr/ lib/sqlite3"]} { set dir "/usr/lib/sqlite3" catch {source [file join $dir pkgIndex.tcl]} }
