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.

Thanks, if this is an okay suggestion,
