Just a small possibility: do you have a .tcshrc file in your home

tcsh looks for .tcshrc and then .cshrc.
If that doesn't do it, then try this:
* Move your .cshrc to a temporary location for safekeeping
* Make a new .cshrc that has only the "source /sw/bin/init.csh"
* Open a new terminal window
If you still get the error, then it is indeed a flaw in init.csh.
Otherwise, I think it's more likely to be a bad interaction
between your
rc and the Fink init. For example, I often see "tcsh: Word too
long."
in my own shell when I run init.csh a second time because (I
think) fink
appends to my already-long CLASSPATH variable. So, in that example
neither .cshrc nor init.csh is at fault, but a bad interaction
between
them. Your problem may be similar.
It could also be a package doing something bad in /sw/etc/
profile.d --
any of the .csh files in there are sourced during fink init.
I rebuilt/reinstalled all the packages in /sw/etc/profile.d, and I
created a .cshrc with just "source /sw/bin/init.csh". Terminal.app
works
OK, but every new terminal window in X11 displays that error. When I
revert to my old .cshrc (which, as a pointed out earlier, has no if
statements), Terminal.app displays the error if I execute "source /sw/
bin/init.csh" but otherwise is still usable (aliases work). I don't
remember installing anything yesterday, and X11 was working normally
yesterday. Now I have to use Terminal.app to launch X11 programs and
then bring X11 to the front manually.

I just ran 'fink update-all' and have the same issue with "tcsh: if:
Expression Syntax". Running 'tcsh -X' ends with:
source /sw/etc/profile.d/xfontpath.csh
if ( -x /sw/bin/xfontpath && 1 ) then
if ( x:0.0 = x:0.0 ) then
tcsh: if: Expression Syntax.
/sw/etc/profile.d/xfontpath.csh should read
if ( -x "/sw/bin/xfontpath" && $?DISPLAY ) then
if ( "x$DISPLAY" == x:0.0 ) then
( "/sw/bin/xfontpath" enable & ) >& /dev/null
endif
endif
Note the '==' instead of '='.
The bash version works.
Cc'd Aida who committed the new version yesterday. The bug is in the
tarball.
Cheers,
Remi
