That's fine if it works, but the OP said he'd already tried
various things like that and they *didn't* work for him. And
I've had trouble in the past with MacPorts and/or Fink (can't
remember exactly which one it was) installing libraries that
were incompatible with other things I use and messing them
up, so I've learned to be wary of them.

Those problems were probably due to some unusual features of
my setup, and wouldn't occur for most other people. But
because I don't use those tools, I can't give any
recommendations about how to troubleshoot them. All I can
do is explain what works for me.
