Related to Mike's fix is the macports/fink error message; this is hard to fix for those without a lot of shell experience. Could this be added to the build error message when /sw or /opt/local is in the PATH? It would have made things easier for me, and I was even expecting this because of the thread a little bit ago on this issue. (Borrowed from David H.'s fix, which worked for me.)
"To fix this, type env and copy the entry PATH. Paste this somewhere in a text editor and remove the directories involving /opt/local or / sw, and copy this. Then type export PATH=... where you now type in those remaining directories after the equals sign" I guess I assume people compiling it do know what a directory is, but this seems safer than assuming they know how to change their PATH. I have no idea where this is located in the code, or I might try to do it myself without destroying something.
