You should jump to using Homebrew. It's superior in most ways. I'd used MacPorts and Fink before Homebrew came about and I never much liked either. Homebrew is as simple as it can be and is really good at detecting conflicts which MacPorts and Fink were terrible at.
- shabble 12y agoI've fought with both of them in the past, and ultimately went back to MacPorts when I last reinstalled. Homebrew was (at the time, maybe a year or so ago) missing a lot of things I wanted to use, and some packages broke for no obvious reason. I'm sure some of it was the result of my rather frankensteinien setup by that point, but I have no real desire to reinstall things again until I have to. MacPorts may be occasionally annoying, but at least it's usually in a way have come to understand. :)
