Thanks for your response. I loaded the gtk+ Gimp toolkit that includes
gtk+-shlibs and problem went away. Now when I type gimp on the command
line I get "Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:". So I tried opening
the X11 xterm window and running gimp from there. But that gets me a
"bash: gimp: command not found" message. Do I need to run X11 apps from
the X11 window? Or is it that X11 is not invoked properly from the
terminal command line? Or something else that I'm clueless about?
Thanks again. Fred




The problem is that Apple's X11 doesn't use the environment settings that you've set up for Fink.


Check out

http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/x11/run-xfree86.php#xinitrc

For now, you can type

source /sw/bin/init.sh

in your X11 terminal before you run anything from Fink.
