The paths are correctly set up, in both cases I get /sw/bin/emacs and the version also corresponds to the fink one, not the built-in emacsNo, I checked that, it is the finked emacs I get:From both an X11 terminal and the Apple terminal? Under Apple's X11 there's no guarantee that your PATH will be the same.
>which emacs
/sw/bin/emacs
Here's an easy thing to check: change your X11 Terminal item in the menubar to run "xterm -ls" instead of "xterm", and then see if emacs will start for you in its own window.nope, nothing changes :(
Here's another bit of info: I used to use an applescript to launch my fink X11 emacs, but that doesn't work anymore either, the script was something like:
on run
tell application "X11"
activate
end tell
set theEnv to "export DISPLAY=:0;"
set theBoot to "source /sw/bin/init.sh;"
set theCmd to "emacs ~/Documents;"
do shell script theEnv & theBoot & theCmd
end run
and now it gives an error message saying:
"emacs: standard input is not a tty"
I guess it could be a setting of X11 that's causing all this?

Hi List,
Sorry if this is a long known problem and i just couldnt find it, but I have a question about my finked Emacs on Mac OS X 10.3.6. After some problems with fink-commander I followed someone's advice to only use the terminal interface (using Apple's X11, with Xcode and all that), I got Emacs 21.3.50 installed fine, BUT it only works from and in terminal mode (the X11 and the Apple terminal). I have installed the xaw3d set too and apart from the apparent no-X11-launchability, Emacs works perfect. What am I missing? I have
fink 0.7.1.rsync
emacs21-xaw3d 21.3.50-200
xaw3d 1.5-8
xaw3d-shlibs 1.5-8
(O, btw I tried but dislike XEmacs and the carbon builds I found on the web. on my previous system (also a 10.3) the finked emacs was perfect)
Thanks,
Emar
That's not the whole version number for emacs21-xaw3d is it?
I've got 21.3.50-20041117-3, which does work on my system.
Here's a thought: what do you get if you run "which emacs" (and try it in both an xterm and Apple terminal)? It could be that you're still running the system's built in emacs-nox, due to PATH issues.
