OK... I have fink installed on my eMac and after Panther upgrade, I reinstalled it to get it working. All is well. ( Has been so since 10.3 came out ).
I recently bought an iBook G4 and have installed Fink. I have it "working" but not like the eMac. If I open X11 ( apple's - same installed on the eMac ), I can type pan or xmms and get my nice
Linux program running.
However when I do it on the iBook, I get command not found. Simply doing cd /sw/bin then xmms or pan or whatever, works.. I have a path problem obviously.
I have read (FAQ's) and created .xinitrc till I am blue in the face with no luck. I suspect I am doing something wrong. Then I read earlier tonite somewhere ( I forget - I'm tired ) that it's not tcsh but csh or something now..?? Does this make any sense.? I did a search on the eMac for .xinitrc and came up blank..
HELP?? What am I missing??
I ran ( and still run Linux ) but really never caught on to the path thing and where to implement this.
Thanks!
Alan
Alan,
Yup! That FAQ should help you out. But I'd just like to point out the difference between the .xinitrc and the various shell initialization files (.bashrc, .tcshrc, etc). The .xinitrc is run when X11 itself starts; it, for example, executes your window manager of choice, such as kde or gnome. So those really aren't shell/environment settings such as the path. I hope the FAQ helped ya fix your problem and I hope I could clarify a bit. :)
