Hi Peter,

Going back to this bug report from Feb, did you manage to solve the
problem?

I "patch" the "patched" configure script to either use the default /sw
setting (for Fink) or I comment this block and uncomment my block
which adds in paths to /opt/local (MacPorts). I just have to think of
it before I start to configure.

The /sw related paths to libraries and C header files are put in front
so that they override everything sensible.
