No. This is not the place to do that. In any case, you probably don't need to
run pathsetup.sh at all - the path should get set for you automatically. That
command is only there in case you need to set your path manually.
The default answer for the question about the additional directory should be []
(which means none). Unless you have special needs, the default answers should
almost always work.
Please remember to use 'reply to all' so this discussion remains on the list.

Well I was logged on as admin, but after I unlocked the picture of a lock on
bottom left in the accounts window, the sudo took my password. Then I told it
to install in '/sw' . Now it is asking me a question: In what additional
directory should Fink look for downloaded tarballs? Is this the prompt to put
in the /sw/bin/pathsetup.sh ?

Oh, OS X is a multi-user operating system. Even if only one person uses the
machine, it's a common safe computing practice to have one account for day to
day use (a 'standard' account) and another for administrator tasks (updates,
installs, etc). That probably doesn't apply in your case. You could
double-check in the 'Accounts' panel of 'System Preferences' that the account
you are using has rights to administer the machine. In that case, the password
you use to login should work with sudo. -=- Rich

There are no other 'accounts'. I don't even know what you mean by that. I have
one iMac and no one else uses it.

Try running from an account with administrator privileges and using the
password for that account.

I am trying to install fink-0.29.16 prior to downloading FreeSurfer. After the
./bootstrap command, I get the paragraph about how fink must be run with root
privileges and then there are 3 choices (1: use sudo, 2: use su, 3: none, fink
must be run as root) But it only allow choice 1. Then asks for a password. I
have tried everything I can think of but nothing is accepted. What to do?
