It seems to me that bash, in contradiction with its documentation, does not determine these variables at runtime, in order to describe "the type of machine on which bash is executing" (from man bash), but it fixes them at compile time. So what you are seeing is the result of Apple compiling Tiger for intel on a powerpc machine. On the other hand, these variables are internal shell variables, not environment variables (you don't see them when you run "env" or "printenv"), so they don't get transmitted to other programs. Their value should therefore not have any importance, and can probably not be the cause of the other problems you are having. Concerning scilab: > dyld: Library not loaded: /sw/lib/libvte.4.dylib > Referenced from: /Applications/scilab/bin/zterm > Reason: no suitable image found. Did find: > /sw/lib/libvte.4.dylib: mach-o, but wrong architecture My explanation would be that you are running a scilab for powerpc which runs via rosetta, and this fails because it expects a powerpc version of libvte.4.dylib, whereas you have the intel version. Scilab on Mac/intel doesn't seem to exist yet. -- Martin _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
