Hello,
I just installed Mac OS 10.4.2 over the weekend and deliberately
erased my old HD. While installing 10.4.2, I also installed
Xcode 2 tools (including the Apple X11). I downloaded the Fink
0.8.0 Binary Installer and all seems to go well. Note that
I did all of the fink installations
(sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install fink) from a
terminal window (not X11). Fink seems to be working and so then
I install xemacs.
The first 'problem' that I noticed is that when I launch xemacs
from the terminal window, a new xemacs window/buffer does not appear
with the GUI. So I guess that perhaps this is related to using a
terminal window instead of an X11 window and so I try launching xemacs
from an X11 window. xemacs is not found and NONE of the fink
installations are even in the search path:
echo $PATH from the X11 window gives
(/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin)
while echo $PATH from the terminal window gives
(/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin).
I'm using the bash shell and the .profile file has only the
line:
test -r /sw/bin/init.sh && . /sw/bin/init.sh
Why do the X11 and terminal windows have different search
paths?
Why does xemacs not launch in a seperate window with a GUI?
Where have I gone wrong?
Thank you for your help.
Brian
