OK, root/Fink seems to work. I have a concern, though: I (try to) use a code which is based on Geant, and that makes use of dylibs. when I try to run it I've got: can't open library: libCore.dylib Is there a work around? You mentioned that those libs are now hardcoded... Well, this goes beyond my knowledge... Any hint?
