This is on Mac OS X 10.4.9.  The output of "uname -a" is:

Darwin leon-dagues-computer.local 8.9.3 Darwin Kernel Version 8.9.3: Fri
Apr 27 14:50:07 PDT 2007; root:xnu-792.19.5~2/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386

I am trying to do "First Time Installation," "Installing the Source
Distribution." (Those are section headers from the User's Guide chapter 2,
which I am following.)

So I follow the instructions in the User's Guide, and the output of
bootstrap.sh ends with:

make: *** [test] Error 1
### execution of make failed, exit code 2
phase compiling: fink-0.24.17-31 failed
Before reporting any errors, please run "fink selfupdate" and
try again....

A more complete output of bootstrap.sh is currently at:

http://userpages.umbc.edu/~ldague1/leon.bootstrap.txt

(I got that by running bootstrap.sh with the command line "./bootstrap.sh | tee
leon.bootstrap.txt".)

I try to run "fink selfupdate" and get "fink: command not found." OK, I figure
that's because my environment (PATH variable) isn't set up.  So I proceed to
Section 2.3 of the User's Guide, "Setting Up Your Environment."  That advises
me to try executing "/sw/bin/pathsetup.sh", which gets me "-bash:
/sw/bin/pathsetup.sh: No such file or directory."

So I see what *is* in /sw/bin.  Not much:

$ ls /sw/bin/
editor          init.csh        init.sh         pager

Is the fink command *anywhere* under /sw/?  Googling suggested to me that
it's a perl script.  I take a look:

$ find /sw/ -name fink -exec file {} \;
/sw//fink: directory
/sw//src/fink.build/fink-0.24.17-31/fink: perl script text executable
/sw//src/fink.build/fink-0.24.17-31/t/basepath/fink: directory
/sw//var/lib/fink: directory

How about pathsetup.sh?

$ find /sw/ -name 'pathsetup*' -exec file {} \;
/sw//src/fink.build/fink-0.24.17-31/pathsetup.sh: Bourne shell script text
  executable
/sw//src/fink.build/fink-0.24.17-31/pathsetup.sh.in: Bourne
  shell script text executable

I tried running /sw//src/fink.build/fink-0.24.17-31/fink and
/sw//src/fink.build/fink-0.24.17-31/pathsetup.sh, neither of which has an
executable bit set.  Both commands failed (details on request).  But the
fact that they are under /sw/src/fink.build/ directory instead of in
/sw/bin/ may be enough to, I hope, suggest what's going wrong.

I looked through the FAQ, didn't see anything that applies.
