I think it's very clear, thank you.

So, how can I tell of Xcode is installed? In particular, how
can I tell of Xcode is installed on the OS X system in the
SourceForge compile farm? The server is accessed via ssh command
line. The compile farm docs

http://sourceforge.net/docs/compile_farm

seem to be a little out of date since the

* ppc-osx1: Apple Mac OS X 10.1 Server with Fink running on an Mac G4
* ppc-osx2: Apple Mac OS X 10.2 Server with Fink running on an Mac G4

are no longer available but there is a system named ppc-osx3 running
OS X 10.3.

If both Xcope and Fink are installed, since this is a shared server
with no root access can you recommend a procedure that will ensure
that I do not inherit any Fink dependencies?
