In attempting to install MacPorts, I've run into a little problem.
Since I already have Fink on my system, the latest 10.4 developer
tools and X11 had been installed earlier. I downloaded and
installed the MacPorts binary, and then using pico, opened and
edited the ~./profile and it now looks like this:
# Your previous .profile (if any) is saved as .profile.dpsaved
# Setting the path for DarwinPorts.
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH
export DISPLAY=:O.O
However, when I run the env command, I get this:
PATH=/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin

As you can see, the PATH does not display as per the instructions.
Is that because of Fink being on my system or.....what's the deal?
Thanks!
I ran into similar problems without Fink being installed. I found
that I had to change the file name to ~./.bash_profile to get
consistent results. Also, as I tend to use an X Terminal instead of
the Apple Terminal, I discovered that I needed to add the "-ls"
switch to the ~./.xinitrc file and the X11 Terminal application.
