Seems you haven't set up your PATH environemnt variable right. Refer to the fink installation docs on that. Bascially, you have to edit your .cshrc file in your home directory and add this line to it: source /sw/bin/init.sh >[pfehrmannlaptop:~] paulfehr% >[pfehrmannlaptop:~] paulfehr% /sw/bin/dselect Now you give it the absolute path so it finds dselect, but you are leaving out the sudo this time! So add sudo and try once more. Or perhaps consider running "fink selfupdate" first.
