Try a new terminal window. The changes that get made don't get activated until you start a new shell session.

can someone point me to a faq describing the relationship between fink

apt-get?


apt-get manages packages in the binary distribution--i.e. released in a
precompiled form.


The fink command does the same thing for packages that are built from
source.


first of all, my path is:
/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sw/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin



This is your problem. You need to set your PATH up. You should have a
file called /sw/bin/pathsetup.command . You should be able to run it
by double-clicking it--it will open a Terminal window.
