The last time I used fink was in 10.1. I'm using 10.3.7 with the latest updates to Xcode tools, Apples supplied X11, & X11 sdk.You have to do a few special things for Apple's X11--in particular you have to read in the Fink environment. Check out:
How do I go about setting up `enlightenment' window manager using the bash shell. I tried making an `.xinitrc' file in my home folder but then x11 refused to start. Once I removed the `.xinitrc' file x11 would start again. Do I put the command in the `.profile' file? If so what is the command to start `enlightenment' as my wm?
Thanks, John

The examples shown will all run under Apple's X11, so you should be able to use one as a template.
Thank you Alexander. I found the page link you gave me, copied the `xinitrc' file from the /private/etc/X11/xinit path to my /~ folder. I got `enlightenment' started so I can now work on customizing it and the `xinitrc' file
. I have one more problem, I ran the path setup command a few times and fink tells me that my path looks like it is set properly, yet when I try to launch a program, it says "command not found" I have to find the entire path to launch a program. Is there a better way of doing this?
Thanks, John
If it's just X11 terminals and not the OSX Terminal, then you should change the X11 Terminal menu item to use "xterm -ls" rather than just "xterm"--this runs another login shell and reads in your Fink environment.

Thank you Alexander,
That did the trick! Now it launches an enlightenment xterm, which does launch an app by just typing in the name of said app or command.
