Hello, Jeffry. sw_vers is a program located under the /usr/bin directory (folder). This file is part of Mac OS X; please check if it exists on your system and if your PATH environment variable points to / usr/bin. You may use the two following commands to help you diagnose your problem:
ls -l /usr/bin/sw_vers echo $PATH What Alex meant with regard to Perl 5.8.9 is that: a) Mac OS 10.6 comes with two versions of Perl: 5.10.0 *and* 5.8.9. / usr/bin/perl is Perl 5.10.0 and, as one would expect, /usr/bin/ perl5.8.9 is Perl 5.8.9. Both of them are installed by Mac OS; they are not part of or installed by Fink. b) We've had reports that FinkCommander on Mac OS 10.6 needs to be configured to use /usr/bin/perl5.8.9 instead of /usr/bin/perl (which is 5.10.0). As explained in http://finkcommander.sourceforge.net/news '(...) must set FinkCommander's Perl path to /usr/bin/perl5.8.9 in the Preferences window'.
