Okay, as far as I know the required perl libraries are installed by fink, so try '/sw/bin/init.sh ; gnucash & ' to lauch gnucash, and see if it still complains.
This was bad advice (typo I guess). You don't *execute* /sw/bin/init.sh, you *source* it.
Not 'sw/bin/init.sh' but '. /sw/bin/init.sh' or, equivalently and less typo-prone, 'source /sw/bin/init.sh'
The difference is that if you *execute* it, you run it in a subshell and so all the environment variables that are set inside the script are lost upon return from the script, whereas if you *source* it, you run it in the current shell and the environment variables remain set so they can contribute to the environment for gnucash. This is what you need.
OK, I see the problem. Under the 0.8.0 binay install for Tiger, /sw/bin/init.sh is owned by root:admin and has 0644 permissions. Users can't initialize environment variables because they can't run the init script. "chmod 0755 /sw/bin/init.sh" fixes this.
No, 644 is correct. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list Fink-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
