XFree86 paths via Fink
Authored by: serversurfer on Oct 04, '01 07:13:23PM
If you are using Fink, instead of adding the X11-path stuff to your .cshrc, add the lines:

##
# Link to Fink
##
source /.sw/bin/init.csh


If you are using bash, you should add the following to your .profile, instead:

##
# Link to Fink
##
source /.sw/bin/init.sh


These scripts add the PATH, MANPATH, and other components necessary to use all your finked software, including XFree86.

I installed my copy of Fink in '/.sw' instead of the default '/sw' (so that the directory does not appear in the Finder). So just make sure you have the right path in YOUR call to 'init.csh'
