Please don’t use screenshots for reports.  Fink is a text-oriented tool, and 
it’s much better just to copy and paste the text from your terminal into a 
message.   That makes it easier for us to highlight the text in message 
threads, and for people who have the same problem to search online and find the 
message.

You’re showing a failure, and that’s why the command isn’t found.  The “fink” 
package was never installed to provide the command.

I haven’t seen anything similar to 

./install.sh: line 79: syntax error near unexpected token `doin' 

in any reports.  The relevant portion of that file has:

                {dpkg,apt-get}-lockwait; do
        install -c -p -m 755 $bin "$basepath/bin/"

so it looks like maybe the “do” and the “install” got mashed together, but I 
don’t know how that could happen, to be honest, unless you happened to have 
edited that file (perhaps by accident).

Try the following:

1)  Remove the /sw directory that you just set up.

2)  Try the install again, but use fink-0.38.4.

If it fails again, post the error (as text please) and we’ll try to sort it out.
