Please help!
I installed Fink OK without any trouble as well as some other stuff and

They seemed to install OK but they don't launch! when I try to launch
them I get the "Error: Can't open display" message...
I am talkin about xlincity and xf

and see if it works.
You might want to add that line to your .cshrc so you don't have to do
it all the time.
What does everyone else say?

your home
directory (assuming you use tcsh a
