Just wondering if anyone is running both of these environments concurrently and if so, any problems? major gotchas etc?
I have had some problems recently compiling some of the Darwinports and was thinking about giving Fink a go again but without destroying my ports install.
Thanks

I had both for quite some time, and it's not a problem. They have their own hierarchy, /opt/local/ for darwinports and /sw/ for Fink, so you won't mess the one up by fiddling with the other. Just be aware that the one declared first in your path will be used by default in your shell if you have the same package installed twice.

And since DarwinPorts tends to have newer releases of stuff, I put it in my path before fink.

I have both. Never experienced an issue except for a security update from Apple that broke rsync.
