Fink / x11 Problems

[webgodjj]

Ok.. I might have made a mess, but here is what I have been doing:
1. I installed mysql and the latest PHP... Works great!

2. Apple came out with the new X11, I installed that.

3. I was told I should have Fink to run everything smoothly... I installed that.

PHP and MYSQL run, but nothing else.
I used the packaged installer from fink and created the .cshrc file with:
source /sw/bin/init.csh

Then I tried these commands and got nothing:
apt-get
dselect
fink

There is another file .tcshrc with this in it:
setenv PATH /usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH

Is that screwing things up?

I guess I am really new and grasping in the dark. I want to be able to run x11 apps, but don't know where to start. I started on my own, however, I believe that I might have gone wrong? I have searched all around for a simple step by step but found nothing, just do this... maybee do this... probalby follow this link....

Please Help! I really want to understand the world of x11.

If you already have the .tcshrc file present, then skip creating a .cshrc file. I really wish Fink would update this info.

Add the "source /sw/bin/init.csh" to the .tchsrc file. This means that when you bring up the terminal app, a tcsh shell is created and it gathers info from both the .tcshrc file and the init.csh file that is being sourced. I have noticed that sometimes there is a problem with the init.csh file and tcsh has trouble sourcing it. If this is you case also then you will need to at least add /sw/bin to your path. This can be done with a .login file in your Home directory.

Good luck.
