I'm glad you solved your problem.
If I sounded impatient I apologize.
Yes, I did reply directly and that's my bad. I kinda thought it had
become a non-macports issue but when I saw head in /opt/local/bin I
thought it should go back to the list.
My point about installing from sources outside of macports is that
ports has some issues with software installed to /usr/local for
example because when run the software looks there first for things
which can cause problems if it finds a match and doesn't use the
macports version.
If you installed software manually from source you might look at your
env vars. Maybe you have something like PREFIX as an env var or
something in perls @INC. I'm no expert so these are just examples of
things that might cause software manually installed from source to end
up in /opt/local/.
Friends? :)
