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,
first, I believe you have to be 'root' to run fink... have you enabled
'root' on your machine? or, better yet, have you added yourself to the
sudoers list on your machine? if you don't know what I'm talking about
email me off-list.
You don't need to be root to run the "fink" command (it doesn't hurt anything if you are, though).
You do need to be root to install/remove packages with "apt-get" or "dselect"
Anyway..
when you're in /sw/bin
you need to type: ./fink selfupdate
that dot slash is very important when running commands that are not in
your path.
This is not what you want to do. You need the correct working environment, as per what I sent in my other message.
A problem with just specifying the path to the "fink" executable is that if you run "fink selfupdate" and something does need to be installed, then "fink" will want to run other programs after building the package, but won't be able to find them.
Cheers,
J.
