Hi, I'm very sorry to be compelled to post this message, but I've searched the archives of both users and beginners mailing lists without finding an answer.
I've put the line: source /sw/bin/init.csh in my .tcshrc file, but the environment variables are not updated at all, so I need to type manually the command "source /sw/bin/init.csh" every time I open a new terminal window. I'm sure that init.csh is executed, because I've put the following echo commands at the end of it: echo "I AM AT THE END OF init.csh" echo $PATH I've also put similar echo commands in other shell startup scripts, and that's what I get when I open a new terminal window: Welcome to Darwin! I AM AT THE END OF environment.mine /sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/Users/andrea:/usr/X11R6/bin I AM AT THE END OF rc.mine /sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/Users/andrea:/usr/X11R6/bin I AM AT THE END OF rc I AM AT THE END OF rc.mine /Users/andrea/bin/powerpc-apple- darwin:/Users/andrea/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/ sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current I AM AT THE END OF rc I AM AT THE END OF init.csh /sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/Users/andrea/bin/powerpc-apple- darwin:/Users/andrea/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/ sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin- current:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current I AM AT THE END OF .tcshrc [localhost:~] andrea% echo $PATH /Users/andrea/bin/powerpc-apple- darwin:/Users/andrea/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/ sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current Please note that rc.mine and rc scripts are executed twice. The second time paths to Wierda's teTeX distribution are added while those relative to fink are deleted. Evetually when I get the prompt and type echo $PATH the fink's paths are lost. I'm not so good at Unix OS to fix this problem, but I think to have provided enough insight to get a solution.
