Hi, With a new Fink install on an also new OS X 10.3.2 with X11 and X11SDK.
I installed a test application (xinvaders). When I run it from X, I get: command not found.
http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-fink.php#fink-not-found
When I run it from Terminal, I get: cannot open display.
http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-general.php#no-display
I looked in the shell parameters, and there the /sw etc is in the $PATH. In the .xinitrc however, the path does not include /sw etc.
What I intend to do is set the $PATH in .xinitrc to the same value as in the Terminal, and test with this.
This leaves me with 2 questions: - where can I find the .xinitrc
<AKH> If you haven't created one in your home directory, you should do this. Check out
http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/x11/run-xfree86.php#xinitrc
for instructions on how to copy the builtin file for your own use.
- is there a reason why I should not do this?
<AKH> No. You should indeed do this. I recommend copying the system's version to your home directory and modifying it, in case of problems.
