Launch fink apps from xterm in Apple's X11
Authored by: wgscott on Jun 21, '04 11:11:38AM

put

source /sw/bin/init.csh

and

if (! $?DISPLAY) then
  setenv DISPLAY :0.0
endif


in your .cshrc or .tcshrc file, and now you can do the same from Terminal.app

Launch fink apps from xterm in Apple's X11

I use ksh, but this would also work for bash and other sh derivatives:
if [ -e /sw/bin/init.sh ] ; then
    . /sw/bin/init.sh
fi
The "if" will avoid error messages if fink isn't installed. It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to do something like that with *csh too.
