uninstall help please

[John B Brown]

Dear Ryan,

	The environment has been scrubbed along with the /opt/local tree. I'm 
using a GNU gcc-4.5.0 bootstrapped using the Xcode compiler. It was 
compiled after I removed all trace of /opt/local. There are two places 
where libintl resides on this box; /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib. Why the 
compiler is looking in /opt/local/lib, and why it is not seeing the ones 
that do exist...I'm at sea about that.

	I am now unable to reproduce the error. I used a different configure 
command, 'configure --disable-asm --disable-libtool-lock.' That 'solved' 
both the early asm fail problem and the library fail problem.

	Argh! I can no more explain that than a hole in the ground. Its not the 
first time. I've had problems with both libintl and libiconv being 
looked for in /opt/local/lib. I gave up those compiles because I don't 
know how to trace that problem.

	I downloaded and unpacked the files today. All trace of /opt/local has 
been scrubbed from my environment variables.

include CFLAGS or CPPFLAGS containing -I/opt/local/include, LDFLAGS 
containing -L/opt/local/lib, C_INCLUDE_PATH containing 
/opt/local/include, or LIBRARY_PATH containing /opt/local/lib. Perhaps 
you have some of those set in your environment. But even if you did, 
that should just influence where software searches for things, and if 
there's nothing there, then it wouldn't find or attempt to use it there.
