Yes, this is the eternal problem of bad default initialisation of X11 and default xterms. There are at least 7 different ways of doing this correctly, and I think I and others wrote about this a couple of times on the lists. I suspect there is also something in the FAQ. #5.15 or so. Usually people notice that the PATH variable is not set correctly, but it is the same story as for PERL5LIB. -- 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

This is what you need. OK, thanks. I did not have to perform the extra step of sourcing with Fink 0.7.x under Panther. There, I also launched gnucash under Apple's X11, and since quote updates worked, I presume gnucash was getting its PERL5LIB variable. Is there a way to automate sourcing of init.sh? My .profile file already has the "test -r .." line adding during installation. thanks again dn >> >> >> OK, I see the problem.

This was bad advice (typo I guess). You don't *execute* /sw/bin/init.sh, you *source* it.

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. dn --- 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

Nope, good catch. I'm using Apple's X11. Unlike the system itself, it does not assign the folllowing to the PERL5LIB variable: /sw/lib/perl5:/sw/lib/perl5/darwin I tried setting this manually in X11, then running update-finance-quote as root from within an X11 xterm, then launching gnucash and trying to update quotes again. No joy. So, two questions: 1. How do I set PERL5LIB permanently so fink apps can see it? 2. How to get quote updates working? thanks! dn --- 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
