Hello, Thanks for the quick reply. Actually, sed is installed but in a slightly different location. When I type which sed I get
/usr/local/bin/sed I think the problem is with my path. When I bought my Mac it came with bash, I changed it to cshrc and recently changed it back to bash. I only did this because everyone says this is the better way to go. Anyhow, I created a .bashrc file but it's not executed when I open terminal. That's why originally it doesn't even find fink. I do add /sw/bin in my bashrc shell and when I source it it finds fink. I wonder if for some reason the path needs to be modified for root? I wish I would revert terminal to the original settings but not sure how to do that. Sorry for being so confused but any help would be appreciated.
