I installed Fink under root and.....

[Hydroglow]

Now in normal user mode the fink command won't work. It works under root. Which I didn't think that was going to be a problem until I try starting up Gnome and Gnome won't work under my name but it will work under root. Is there a way that I can change fink from root to my user name with out uninstalling everything. I'm using 10.2.2

Hydroglow,

Hmm...short of deleting and installing again, maybe you can try to "chown hydroglow" for the entire /sw/fink directory.


Or, you can try this:

1- Clean up your cvs with:

cd /sw/fink

sudo find . -name 'CVS' -type d -exec rm -rf {} \;

(Then, when you run 'fink selfupdate-cvs' will prompt you for your settings again).

2- Move /sw/fink/10.2 out of the way and run 'fink selfupdate-cvs': it should reconstitute the directory, subdirectories, and files with appropriate permissions.

Good luck.


Cheers...

Now I tried that command at /sw/fink/10.2 and it gave me the option to change the cvs settings but that didn't work. When I type in Fink under hydroglow it says no command found but when I type it under root it works. I've chown(ed) my /sw/fink directory and the fink command still doesn't work.

Hydroglow,

Please post the result of:

[Hydroglows-Computer:/sw/fink] hydroglow# ll

Which shell are you using?


Cheers...

[Hydroglow]

I'm using the tcsh shell. This is what I get when I enter the ll command



[Hydroglows-Computer:/sw/fink] hydroglow# ll
ll: Command not found.
[Hydroglows-Computer:/sw/fink] hydroglow#
