Hi, last week I completely removed my fink installation and reinstalled it from scratch, after first having installed the new TeXlive2009. I wanted to get rid of old junk and clean my disk and thought that this was the easiest way. Since then I'm having a weird unix path problem: in Terminal echo $PATH gives me the correct path: /sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/texbin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin In xterm, the path is the following: /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/texbin:/usr/X11/bin:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin
As you can see, /sw/bin and /sw/sbin have moved to another position in the PATH variable in xterm, giving rise to lots of problems. I have put some echo statements in /sw/bin/xinitrc.sh for debugging purposes, and this shows that the path is /sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin just before the execution of the very last statement in xinitrc.sh, which is exec /usr/bin/quartz-wm This means that just before starting the window manager, /sw/bin is in the right position but also that the path is not complete when compared to the final contents in xterm or terminal. Apparently some more changes are applied when the window manager is started. I am using bash, and the very last statement in my .bash_profile file is test -r /sw/bin/init.sh && . /sw/bin/init.sh as it should be. I don't have any specific .xinitrc, .xserverrc, .xsession etc. files in my homedir. This is on 10.6.2, with the last versions of all fink packages. The packages that I installed explicitly are antiword, emacs23, gawk, wget, xcircuit, xfig. All other packages (among them also xinitrc 1.5-1) were installed through dependencies. Does anyone have a clue about what is going on here? Any advice on how to debug this? I looked at the man pages of quartz-wm, Xquartz, Xserver, xdm, ... but didn't find any pointers to what I should try next. I checked the console messages, but there is nothing strange there.
