On my system, fink resides in "/sw/bin". Perhaps that directory is not in your search path. My .login file specifies the "/sw/bin" directory explicitly via:

set path = ( \
~/bin \
/usr/local/bin /usr/bin /bin \
/usr/local/sbin /usr/sbin /sbin \
/sw/bin \
/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current \
./ \
)

Hi, I'm having some problems installing and using Fink. I've installed and used it fine in the past, but have since erased and not used it in a while.

When I follow the installation instructions, everything seems to go fine, but then the problems begin.

I have trouble editing my .cshrc file (or rather, saving the edited file) unless I sudo pico.

Then when I run fink the command isn't recognized.

I'm running OSX 10.2.3

This sounds to me like a privileges problem, but I've tried repairing the privileges using Apple's Disk Utility and that doesn't seem to help.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

PS-I've also been having problems where my IE settings (like tab to fields only) aren't remembered by IE, so this again points to the privileges problem, but I can't seem to fix it. Thanks for your assistance!
