initial v1 1 It is quite easy to install old versions of ports, and there is a well-written guide on how to do so in the Macports Wiki https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/InstallingOlderPort. There is also an easy way to browse all of the changes to a port to and view appropriate diff files to determine which version needs to be checked out. For example, here is the one for mesa https://trac.macports.org/log/trunk/dports/x11/mesa.

I'm actually a very technical user and will build PyMol myselfif necessary.16 I personally have no intention of installing Fink. I've built PyMol myself before and will do so again if necessary.
