where does macports installs programs?

[Fabrizio Salvatore]

I have wiped the root5 installation and re-installed and for what I can see the two have the exact same root5 installed.... I was going to re-install python27 too, but there are a lot of dependencies so it might be a pretty complicated business... is there a way to do the uninstall without breaking these dependencies? I am going to check if there is any difference in the python27 installation first....

Thanks a lot for your help!

Cheers,

Fab
