It appears that .cshrc gets executed before all other shells. I happen to use the Bash shell and after I added this line to ~/.cshrc (which didn't even exist when I added it) actually added the needed setup (paths, environment variables) into my bash shell. So, DON'T add anything to your .tcshrc or, in the case of using bash, .bashrc files. > -Manuel Portilheiro -- Alfredo Jahn [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
