It has, with your help ;-) , set up the preferences for Terminal.app in such a way that it reruns the pathsetup.command script each time it opens a terminal window. You have to repair these preferences
This seems to happen with a fairly high degree of frequency and is a typical question asked on the Apple unix bb. I've answered it at least 10 times. I wonder if there might be a better way to have the installer do this? An applescript (or osascript) "do shellscript" command would eliminate the need for having to open up a terminal window, and presumably would then eliminate the possibility for the terminal preference file getting corrupted. If the output really does need to be read, it could be piped into a log file and that file then opened in the Console application to display its contents (open foo.log opens a log file and lets it scroll dynamically like a tail -999cf foo.log command).
Also, while I am at it, wouldn't it be better to have the lines dumped into the startup file look something like the following?
if [[ -f /sw/bin/init.sh ]]; then
. /sw/bin/init.sh
else
echo " WARNING!! Fink does not appear to be present and has not been initialized."
fi
That way if the user (re)moves /sw their startup script won't fail.
