Comment:

 I would like you to reconsider the decision on this defect.  The reason is
 that we are not talking about files in /usr/local/ but rather about a
 version of the library installed in /usr/lib .. thus it is a system
 library that is part of Mac OS X  .. so you can expect it to be there and
 MacPorts should be able to cope with it.

 now i see a similar problem with #27316 .. /usr/lib/libcrypt  is being
 taken before /usr/local and /opt/local is not even being looked at.

 there is, according to me, a serious problem with MacPorts that could be
 fixed by adding  -L/opt/local/lib to the link statements

 i have been trying to learn enough about Portfiles to figure out how to do
 this when this problem shows up in a port .. and i would like to find out
 if there is a global setting that will fix this .. i have already tried
 {{{
 DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/subversion/lib:/opt/local/lib:
 }}}
 in my shell env and that does not solve it.

 so .. can we please have a good look at the situation.
