Re: [Fink-devel] how to set .cshrc

2003-03-14 Thread Alexander Hansen
I thought the X11 PATH stuff gets set in init.(c)sh There is an issue with Apple X11, but I don't think we can fix it here: Apple X11 doesn't honor the fink environment, and you have to add source /sw/bin/init.sh to .xinitrc in order to run fink-installed applications, e.g. a window manager.

As per the documentation, how about this: 1) create/edit ~/.cshrc 2) If users followed the setup under /usr/share/tcsh/examples/README which seems like a common thing to do, they should source ~/.cshrc in ~/Library/init/tcsh/path 3) Otherwise, they should check whether there's a .tcshrc
