George, I think that most of the rpm packages proposed by K Fujii are now available through Fink (dlcompat for example), so it really is a matter of personal choice... I preferred fink since all packages go in the /sw directory (easy to remove if something goes wrong). It is to note that the packages from K Fujii and those from fink do not live in the same directory, so should not interact (as long as the environment variables are set properly). Also, some of the packages (like Xwindow for example) are now available directly through Apple. The system version also matters a lot since some of the new packages may not work on pre-Jaguar OsX. My idea (I may be wrong) is that for pre-Jaguar systems (like yours), Fujii's packages work well, so keep them... I think Christian did well to upgrade to Os X 10.1.2... and if you do the same one day, then fink is maybe a best choice since it relies on more people, and sticks maybe closer to the system evolutions.
