Hello,Do you have a .tcshrc file in your home directory? If yes, insert the source /sw/bin/init.csh into the .tcshrc file. Otherwise, check if you are really running tcsh:
I've installed Fink 0.11.0 on this OS X 10.2 system.
I'm currently following the instructions on the website,
http://fink.sourceforge.net/news/jag-bootstrap.php, which is quite
helpful.
However, I've made my .cshrc file in my home directory as directed, and it
doesn't work. My .cshrc file now says:
source /sw/bin/init.csh
but when I run "fink" from a new terminal window, I'm told "Command not
found."
I'm trying to run "fink" from my user account. My .cshrc file is owned by
my regular user, a member of Admin. The file /sw/bin/init.csh is owned by
root.
Perhaps my .cshrc file is failing to do anything because it's an admin
file trying to run a root file. In that case, what should I do, chown my
.cshrc file to root?
Many thanks,
Complex
# echo $SHELL
/bin/tcsh
The ownership of a file is less important than the permissions on it. The ls of my init.cs:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root admin 2693 Sep 21 17:59 init.csh
The permissions are coded in the beginning: -rw-rw-r-- stands for user (root) can read (r) and write (w) the file, the group (admin) can do the same, while the rest (world) can only read this file. Thus anybody on my system can read (source) the init.csh.
I hope that helps.
Cheers,
Remi
