 === Can I install software in /usr/local while using MacPorts? === #usrlocal
 
 No. Even though MacPorts is installed elsewhere, software installed in `/usr/local` can still interfere with MacPorts.
+Some compilers automatically look for libraries in /usr/local/lib.
 Some software (especially the GNU auto* tools and gcc) looks into `/usr/local` for external headers, libraries, and binaries. Certain ports might (and do) fail to build because during their build something incompatible is found and picked up
 from `/usr/local`. Good ports avoid this by explicitly specifying `--with-libfoo=/opt/local/lib/` or explicitly disabling all such possible dependencies altogether with `--disable-foo` or `--without-bar` but not all ports are able to do that.
 And even if all files that should be found in `/opt/local` are correctly used, headers and libraries provided by the operating system in `/usr` will still be overridden if files of the same name exist in `/usr/local`.
