| | 162 | When building macports' software, compilers will often look in these folders first for various components. |
| | 163 | Any such components found may cause issues with compiling and/or running the software. |
| | 164 | <filename>/usr/local/bin</filename> and <filename>/usr/local/lib</filename> are two of the most |
| | 165 | problematic locations. The use of other subfolders under |
| | 166 | <filename>/usr/local</filename> (i.e., <filename>/usr/local/mysql</filename>) should not cause any issues. |
