If you're saying that this software links with a library inside Xcode, and that the install name of that library varies by Xcode version such that the software linked with the library in one version of Xcode fails with a library file not found error when Xcode is upgraded to a new version, then yes rev-upgrade would detect that. Otherwise, no it would not. If someone installs MacPorts without following the directions (installing xcode / command line tools), they might (don't know, I haven't tried doing that) end up downloading a package that tries (via mpicc / mpicxx) to run a compiler that isn't there. (Since running mpicc requires the wrapped cc to be present.) But looking at the binaries and libraries in mpich-default, I don't think rev-upgrade would catch anything. Thanks, - Eric
