Did anyone ever reply to this? I missed it if so.

What does "which fink" give you? There are two expected results:
  a> "/sw/bin/fink" [normal and working]
  b> "fink: Command not found" [normal, but broken]

If you get the first one then Fink really ought to be working. Is the Fink
/sw/bin/fink present, intact, and executable? If you get command not
found, try to invoke the full path version, as one of these variants:

  % /sw/bin/fink
  % perl -w /sw/bin/fink
  % /usr/bin/perl -w /sw/bin/fink

If the first one there, your path needs to be fixed to add /sw/bin. If the
second one works, then there maybe a glitch with the Fink command itself.
If the third, then there could be a problem with the system Perl command.
If none of those, then, er, well...

Personally, I think a path error explains things best. Try this:

  % printenv PATH

...and see if you see /sw/bin in the result somewhere.
