Sorry about the length of the subject! It does describe something that
the proposed PATH setup application would want to deal with, however.

Subject: [Fink-beginners] For anyone trying to install fink who is already using the

Hi all.
'fink scanpackages' kept giving me 'Command not found.' All I could
find on the fink FAQ pages was this:

If you are using the example configuration found in
/usr/share/tcsh/examples, (which does have some quite cool features),
then you will already have a one line ~/.tcshrc file:
source /usr/share/tcsh/examples/rc
Adding the line:
source ~/.cshrc
will not do the trick. Leave it as it is.
As you can see from the /usr/share/tcsh/examples/README <snip>

A solution in this case is to put "source ~/.cshrc" in ~/Library/init/tcsh/path .
I guess the installer app needs to check for a .login, too.
