Root follows the fink policy and installs everything under /sw. As the library path is hardcoded into the root executable built by fink, it is not necessary to set $ROOTSYS or $DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. Therefore you can just leave your old root version on your disk and just unset the both environments and remove the $ROOTSYS/bin from your PATH. Then you should pick up the root from fink which gets installed into /sw/bin. > Any chance to see Geant as a Fink package? Well, the chance is sure not zero, but I'm not actively using geant. I suppose you ask for geant4? I have also a request for CERNLIB, especially PAW. However, this is a hard piece and I'm not sure if I manage to pack it up for fink. > Once again, thank you, You're very welcome.
