Hi,

I am a total newbie with X11.

Is there a way to permanently tell Apple's X11 to append Fink's /sw in its PATH? I didn't see any info yet on the fink web site how to do this.

There are many ways, from wrapper scripts over clickable launcher scripts to an Environment.plist file that sets the path for every application.

This is required for example to run xboard together with gnuchess. One can launch xboard easily enough by adding "/sw/bin/xboard" to the

The simplest way is to set the path in the Applications menu entry, for example

source /sw/bin/init.sh; xboard

or

env PATH=/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:$PATH xboard

X11.app Applications menu but it will not find gnuchess in /sw/bin/gnuchess.
