Fink problems
Authored by: matt02 on Nov 13, '02 12:18:12AM

I don't know if anyone's still reading this, but the solution I found is to put 'source /sw/bin/init.csh' at the end of your .login file rather than your .cshrc file.

The reason is that the /usr/share/tcsh/examples/login script, which you sourced in your .login, sets the path and is called AFTER your .cshrc or .tcshrc. Thus it overwrites the path to Fink with the standard system paths.

When you source the init.csh file on the command line, of course it works, because the shell doesn't look at .login. It's a different story when you actually do log in again. So put your path to Fink at the end of your .login or in your ~/Library/init/tcsh/login.mine.
