try typing the following command before you start in a window.

source /sw/bin/init.sh

A "program" tends not to run/execute unless its in your PATH ( /sw/bin needs to be in the list), unless you put a directory spec.
Your working directory is usually not in your PATH for security reasons. So "cd" to /sw/bin" doesn't help. The above command should fix your PATH.


If you want to execute something in your working directory type
./apt-get
as an example.

BTW.
I put the following in my ~/.xinitrc file to start Gnome automatically when start X11.


#!/bin/sh
quartz-wm --only-proxy &
source /sw/bin/init.sh
exec /sw/bin/gnome-session
exec sawfish &

..lj

Hi,

I recently installed fink and the gnome packages. I dowloaded all the the binaries using the graphical installer, and now, I'm not sure what to do. I went into fink's sw/bin folder and tried running apt-get (it shows up when I type 'ls') but got a 'command not found' error. I also tried running 'gdm', but got a similar error. Anyone have any idea what I did wrong? Thanks,

erez
