Hi,
Ah I see. That's probably an example of obscure English writing. I meant to
said, "uninstall macport or fink, since you were probably doing it wrong.".
The purpose of this procedure is to eliminate one possible factor that
might interfere users experience. It's really hard for people to understand
what's going on in their .bashrc/.cshrc, if they didn't remove them from
the PATH variable and RELOGIN, the Makefiles would most likely still be
using macports/fink's compilers. That's why I suggested removing them all
together so that at least we are sure that the prebuilt binaries are indeed
used for the compilation.
Best,
