Darwin Ports on Lion

This is also not a success story right now.

In order to install Mercurial for GoLang I will have to do that the native way.

fink on Lion

When I set up fink on Snow Leopard quite a while ago, I didn't really care, where XCode and all that went.
Now with Lion things are not running as smooth.
I have to put /Developer/usr/bin on PATH.
But that still doesn't allow to successfully run ./bootstrap . How bad! I think I am going to abandon fink for the time being in favour of DarwinPort.

MacPort/DarwinPort and Fink coexisting on my Mac

Both coexist on my Mac, and sometimes installations complain about binaries resp. libraries in an incompatible format.
MacPort/DarwinPort lives in /opt/local, Fink lives in /sw.
In order for fine installations I sometimes have to temporarily rename /opt/local resp. /sw.
After the successful installations I rename them back.

I learned this lesson during the installation of ImageMagick on my Mac.
