Any program can do that upon installation; I think some tex installs may. I don't know how in OS X to somehow totally hide the existence of /usr/local/ from a subshell. As root (on Linux at least) one could easily do so using mount and bind. Making changes to the PATH and other environment variables is not enough to stop components of Sage looking in /usr/local during the build, despite .remarks possibly to the contrary by others in this thread. -- William > > Thanks for the help, > Marshall > > On Apr 3, 3:13 am, William Stein <wst...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Sat, Apr 3, 2010 at 12:22 AM, Dima Pasechnik <dimp...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > > > On Apr 3, 12:31 am, mhampton <hampto...@gmail.com> wrote: > > >> I'll try downloading it a second time, although I don't think its > > >> corrupted because I copied that tar file to 3 other computers and all > > >> their installs went fine. > > > > >> I don't think I've ever used Fink or Macports on the computer causing > > >> problems.
