Sorry, still confused here, but I'm wondering if I've hit on
something here. Note these instructions from the web site:
If you are using Mac OS X 10.3 "Panther", Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" or
a Bourne shell (bash, zsh), add the following line to your ~/.profile:
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/bin
If you are using Mac OS X 10.2 "Jaguar" or a C shell (tcsh), add
the following line to your ~/.cshrc:
set path=($path /opt/local/bin)
Since Tiger (OS10.4) includes a tcsh shell rather than the old bash
shell, should this edit cure the problem? I'm reluctant to edit this
file before I know because it relates to my Fink setup and I'm a novice.
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.
Do you have multiple shell profiles? In the MacPorts install
instructions
after editing the .profile, I put this in the Important Notes:
Other profile files may conflict with ~./profile and should be
removed, so
remove any occurrances of these files:
• ~/.bash_login
• ~/.bash_profile
That was my stab at anticipating problems. I'm not entirely sure
it is
correct, but it seems like a bad idea to have more than one and I'm
not
sure the order of precedence if these files are present in addition to
~/.profile.
