Tried that.  And I get

make[3]: *** No rule to make target `/sw/include/iconv.h', needed by `sysutils.o'.  Stop.
make[2]: *** [R] Error 2
make[1]: *** [R] Error 1
make: *** [R] Error 1

So somehow it is still looking for /sw even though I moved /sw aside and took the call to
the init script out (of my .cshrc, actually).

Any other ideas?  Sorry for all the bother.

P. S. Moreover, having moved /sw to /sw.local, I cannot get, e.g., aspell to work
even though I put /sw.local explicitly into my path.  Aaarrrggghhhh!!!
