Two separate issues. 1) The Applications menu doesn't know about the fink PATH. A method that works would be to have the line read:
source /sw/bin/init.sh ; gothello 2) Terminal.app doesn't check to see if X11 is running and set the DISPLAY variable. Even if you start a Terminal window after you've started X11, this is the case. What you need to do is type setenv DISPLAY :0 in the Terminal window. Make sure X11 is running first. On Wed, 2003-03-05 at 13:02, Joseph J.
