More on installation of 1.15.6.2

Feedback Type:  Commentary

Contributed by: WoodDMW Saturday, December 10 2005 @ 12:38 PM PST

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

The .pkg installs files in /usr/local.
Warning: My /usr/local is a symbolic link to a directory on an external disk, and this link gets blown away by the installer! (It is *just* a link, so no permanent damage done.)

As much as I would like to use HippoDraw, its set of dependencies is offputting, so I'm going to wait for a while before trying a later version.

I tried briefly to build from source but gave up after the fink-installed boost libraries were not acceptable (AFAIK) to configure, even when I passed
--with-boost-lib= and --with-boost-libname= to the configure script.

I suspect that those willing to go to these lengths are already using fink, so more support for fink-installed tools would be much appreciated.
