The Fink Commander PATH should also start with /sw/bin:/sw/sbin:
It looks like Fink Commander put in spaces instead of "/sw" at the beginning. The script did do its job, because the PATH is correct as shown in the Terminal--there may be something subtle going on that caused Fink Commander not to have the correct PATH. This is the first time that I've seen this behavior. -- Alexander K. Hansen Levitated Dipole Experiment http://www.psfc.mit.edu/LDX � -----Original Message----- From: Matthew O.
