[QUOTE="knightjp, post: 1831414, member: 33134"] Update: I really like Pkgsrc, but it again it lacked a package that I needed. I tried building it from source and it failed. The only way for me to get it was to use MacPorts. So that is where you find me now.

I wish that I was a developer so that maybe I could contribute fixes or something that would benefit the Pkgsrc community. Perhaps I will be able to get try it again some time in the future. For now MacPorts does it for me and it really just works. [/QUOTE]
