Une, Do you use any other ports? How many? /opt/local is ONLY used by DP so you have the option of blowing away /opt/local (sudo rm -rf /opt/local) reinstalling ports and then reinstalling any ports you use. On the issue of your scripts still finding /usr/bin/ruby, it is necessary to put in your .pofile in your home directrory "export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$path" This will make ports found first. If you use fink too do this AFTER you call the fink script. Good luck john Une bévue wrote: > Craig Demyanovich <demmer12 / fastmail.us> wrote: > >> I do, and it has worked very well....
