I made sure that /opt/local was not in the environment during the build: bot in PATH, no loader 
environment variables etc. Only the reference to ant, but I guess ant is only used during the build 
and will not end up in the LO executable. Is that right?
Of course I could put the ant somewhere else.

In config.log and config.status the only references to /opt are the ant reference, and 
WGET=/opt/local/bin/wget. The latter comes in because configure explicitely searches it there.

So where else could junit.jar be, because I had to install it seperately. It was not in the 
standard Java installation AFAIK.

So that would mean compiling with /usr/local and /opt/local removed? The problem is, on my aging 
Macbook a full compilation takes about 21 hours, and I would be handicapped if I took them away 
unless I take a long weekend away.
