Ok, so I put the links back as they were in /usr/bin and I checked that /opt/local/bin is before /usr/bin: it's ok.

Well, I don't get any error message now ... Maybe I made someting wrong yesterday, but now, everything is ok, with former links back into /usr/bin

Ok, I've done that.
I think maybe the mistake I made yesterday is that I forgot to logoff/login after using port select.

Now all is ok.

(But if you're not familiar with LLVM then you can just ignore the whole thing.)  The final one is Apple's gcc for Xcode with various Xcode-specific optimizations and code generators.

Thanks for those answers. Actually, I don't know what LLVM is, but I understand the need of serveral kinds of compilers, now.

Thanks a lot !
