Hi According to the FAQ, I run the sw/bin/pathsetup
Alas, I do not have such a file in this directory nor anywhere on my boot volume. BTW I aim to get Fink Commander running - 0.5.2 is now loaded but is empty - I guess for the PATH reasons. My Fink Commander PATH is: /sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbi n /sw/bin contains the following: [Tim-Carpenters-Computer:/sw/bin] timcarpe% ls 822-date dpkg-name init.sh aclocal dpkg-parsechangelog m4 aclocal-1.6 dpkg-scanpackages md5sum apt-cache dpkg-scansources mktemp apt-cdrom dpkg-shlibdeps msgcmp apt-config dpkg-source msgcomm apt-extracttemplates dpkg-split msgfmt apt-get dselect msgmerge apt-sortpkgs editor msgunfmt autoconf fink ngettext autoheader gawk onsgmls autom4te gawk-3.1.0 openjade automake gettext osgmlnorm automake-1.6 gettextize ospam autoreconf glib-genmarshal ospent autoscan glib-gettextize osx autoupdate glib-mkenums pager awk gm4 pgawk bunzip2 gnutar pkg-config bzcat gobject-query readlink bzcmp gtar reset bzdiff gtkdoc-fixxref tack bzegrep gtkdoc-mkdb tar bzfgrep gtkdoc-mkhtml tempfile bzgrep gtkdoc-mkman tic bzip2 gtkdoc-mktmpl toe bzip2recover gtkdoc-scan tput bzless gtkdoc-scangobj tset bzmore gtkdoc-scanobj xgettext captoinfo gunzip xmlwf clear gzcat zcat dpkg gzexe zcmp dpkg-architecture gzip zdiff dpkg-buildpackage iconv zforce dpkg-checkbuilddeps ifnames zgrep dpkg-deb igawk zless dpkg-distaddfile infocmp zmore dpkg-genchanges infotocap znew dpkg-gencontrol init.csh Thanks 'Chef' On 23/3/04 2:29 pm, "Alexander K.
