the summery....<br>• I'd already managed to install fink (as they were mentioned on the fftw site).

versions of software you already have, via these systems (where the version<br> bundled with OS X is old else just weird). Multiple versions of stuff can<br> generally live side-by-side -- you just have to be careful setting<br>
environment variables such as $PATH. E.g. when building stuff that was<br> developed on say Linux you might have to configure your paths to binaries<br> and libraries etc such that the locations installed to by Macports/Fink get<br>
searched first, before the OS X system directories.<br> <br> Alternatively, you could replace OS X with Linux, and everything becomes a<br> lot simpler.<br> <br> Cheers,<br> <br> Andrew<br> <div><br> > Gordon<br> ><br>
