Hiya,
I wonder if it is wise to put the line source /sw/bin/init.sh into the file /etc/profile?
That way, Fink would be known by all users and the system.
Here an example: I want to install Moveable Type on my iBook, but the installation routine (running a perl cgi-bin) complains that it cannot find DBD::mysql, although it is installed via Fink.
I assume that this is the case, because Fink is not in the path of the user www(?), who is executing the webserver.
<AKH> I wouldn't assume that at all. The www user doesn't allow login (its shell is /dev/null, too), so I don't think it ever reads /etc/profile. Your installation routine may have some provision for how to find stuff that is in non-standard locations.
The other alternative would be to install the required modules manually, but then I have 2 versions of DBD::mysql, what I would like to avoid.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance, Stephan
