Having opened the X11 term which has the /sw/bin/init in the .xinitrc, I can run mostly all kde4 apps. In other words, I can't run all the kde4 apps until I run X11 term which runs /sw/bin/init.sh. > It doesn't have to be an xterm. If your fink environment is set up properly, then it should be run automatically when you open the regular OS X terminal, too. If you run "printenv PATH" when you open a window from the OS X terminal, are /sw/bin and /sw/sbin present?

However, that doesn't run as kde4.app. I have to run from shell. As expected: It's an X11 app, and OS X treats it as such. > > Welcome any comments. > > --- On *Mon, 8/31/09, Alexander Hansen /<alexanderk.han...@gmail.com>/* wrote: > > > From: Alexander Hansen <alexanderk.han...@gmail.com> > Subject: Re: [Fink-users] kdeinit4.app and kde4 apps fail to run > To: "vibnwis" <vibn...@yahoo.com> > Cc: fink-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Date: Monday, August 31, 2009, 10:43 AM > > vibnwis wrote: > > Hi there, > > > Having installed kde4 through fink, I move on to run the kde apps. > > However, I couldn't get any of kde4 apps running.
