    55Also, the **name of the library** does collide - which makes it impossible to use packages that require, e.g., a modern (Macports-installed) OpenSSL that resides in {{{/opt/local/lib}}} and OS-provided libiconv that resides in {{{/usr/lib}}}. If I don't add {{{/opt/local/lib}}} - then **all** the older OS-provided libraries would be used, in which case what's the point of using Macports? And if I add {{{/opt/local/lib}}} before the default {{{/usr/lib}}} - then {{{/opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib}}} gets used because it carries the same name as {{{/usr/lib/libiconv.dylib}}}.
