Hi,

I am a total newbie with X11.

Is there a way to permanently tell Apple's X11 to append Fink's /sw in 
its PATH? I didn't see any info yet on the fink web site how to do this.

There are many ways, from wrapper scripts over clickable launcher 
scripts to an Environment.plist file that sets the path for every 
application.

This is required for example to run xboard together with gnuchess. One 
can launch xboard easily enough by adding /sw/bin/xboard to the 

The simplest way is to set the path in the Applications menu entry, for 
example

  source /sw/bin/init.sh; xboard

or

  env PATH=/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:$PATH xboard

X11.app Applications menu but it will not find gnuchess in 
/sw/bin/gnuchess.

[Fink-devel] /sw not in path with Apple's X11

Hi,

I am a total newbie with X11.

Is there a way to permanently tell Apple's X11 to append Fink's /sw in 
its PATH? I didn't see any info yet on the fink web site how to do this.

can launch xboard easily enough by adding /sw/bin/xboard to the 
X11.app Applications menu but it will not find gnuchess in 
/sw/bin/gnuchess.

So far the only method I found is to launch X11 in the Terminal instead 
of via the Finder:

/Applications/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11 

Any suggestions are appreciated,
Carsten
