xfontpath enable is only run when your DISPLAY environment variable is set, the idea being that you don't have it set when X11 is not running. If you set DISPLAY in one of your shell startup scripts, try to do it *after* you call "source /sw/bin/init.csh". I remember finding this surprisingly difficult, so I have something like the following in my ~/Library/init/tcsh/path file: if ( $?DISPLAY ) then set OLDDISPLAY=$DISPLAY unsetenv DISPLAY source /sw/bin/init.csh setenv DISPLAY $OLDDISPLAY else source /sw/bin/init.csh endif -- Martin _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
