Ive heard that libraries and headers installed under /usr/local sometimes cause build problems for Fink. Is this true?
This is a frequent source of problems, because the package configuration script finds headers and libraries in /usr/local and decides to use them rather than using those in the Fink path. If you are having problems with a build that aren’t covered by another FAQ entry, you should check whether you have libraries in /usr/local/lib or headers in /usr/local/include.
