Hi Alexander, Problem solved, thanks very much for your help. It was purely environmental; just as you suggested, init.[c]sh wasn't being called.
/sw/bin/pathsetup.sh told me everything seemed to be set up correctly, because .profile was correctly setup. The problem was that .profile wasn't being called during login because I had a .bash_profile file which took precedent over .profile, without importing it. (Woops) Thanks again, Matthew >From: "Alexander K.
