bluehz, your $PATH must have /sw before /usr/bin and then you should see:

% which screen
/sw/bin/screen

Kills XDarwin
Authored by: bluehz on Nov 17, '02 07:41:20AM

I noticed after initiating this hint - I was no longer able to launch XDarwin. I don't normally use .cshrc and .tcshrc (instead keeping old style ~/Library/init/tcsh file), but I created .cshrc and .tcshrc file just for this hint. I could then no longer launch XDarwin, Delete teh two "dot" files and XDarwin launches fine again.

bluehz,

Using the old style /Library/init/tcsh/*.mine file in Jaguar can cause problems. I'd recommend using only the ~/.tcshrc and ~/.login files to tweak your environment stuff, except for aliases.mine which still seems to work fine for me. See the hint on this site for re-establishing your .mine file functionality if you are on Jaguar.

I have sorta been meaning to switch to the new style - but every time I make attempts at switching - I get more problems than good. I guess the old style is just comfortable...hahahah (weird to say about pure unix guts...ehhh). I'll take a look and see if I can find the articles talking about this on OS X Hints and see if I can give it another shot. Not sure how my enabling the .tcshrc will help with this hint since it clearly caused a problem with my XDarwin once enabled.

I have read the docs on old-style tcsh dir and fail to see any problems generated from this method. Can you point me to some specific docs?
