Oh come on. Ben pointed out that obviously your setup was not quite correct. And as you admitted yourself he was right. Despite this you suggested the Fink docs were at fault. However, you were not following them (very well possibly by mistake, it's easy to move a .bashrc temporarly out of the way and then forget to move it back and stuff like that, granted). Ben suggested that so far we had no specific complaints, but that we are willing to fix any concrete problems you point out. Which you didn't. And the quote of Ben up there is hardly insulting. He was just checking on various things that we have seen in the past to cause problem similar to yours. It's a normal thing to do, as these details can carry important information. > This is as tedious as blaming sourceforge for changing their file >structure, and thinking "fink selfupdate cvs" was going to rewrite >the file paths . LOL, I am not sure if that is meant to be a cutting remark, if it was, I am sorry but I don't feel cut - if you want to insult somebody like that, first research the facts better :-) > >Here's what "fink list xfree" returns. > >[/Users/paul]:: fink list xfree >Information about 1347 packages read in 31 seconds. > > system-xfree86 4.2-1 Placeholder package for manually >installe... > i xfree86-base 4.2.0-6 XFree86 libraries, utilities, >clients and... > xfree86-rootles 4.2.0-3 MacOS X/Darwin XFree86 display server. > xfree86-server 4.2.0-2 XFree86 display server (stable release) > >As I already said, the command to source init.sh was missing from my >.bashrc. mea culpa. It's back now. Things still don't work. >Storable.pm was installed in perl's search path so it could be >located without setting an additional variable. So you installed storable-pm manually? Are you sure your install of it is correct? The normal way for this is to install the Fink storable-pm package. Maybe you can temporarily remove that custom install of storable pm and see if that helps? And if you are still manually setting PERL5LIB, try to comment that out for now (you can still uncomment it again if it doesn't help). A fully copy of your .bashrc might be helpful, too.
