[Visualpython-users] Mac OSX 10.4

[Bruce S. <Bru...@nc...>]

I did a clean install of Mac OSX 10.4, installed X11 (found by scrolling 
down to "Optional Installs" on the installer DVD), installed Fink, and 
installed VPython, all as per instructions which have been updated at 
vpython.org. Many thanks to Martin Costabel for getting a version of 
Visual into the packages for the 10.4 version of Fink.

One minor thing went wrong: Fink creates a statment in my .profile file 
which should effectively add /sw/bin to the application search path. 
However, it doesn't work: I have to execute /sw/bin/vpython rather than 
simply executing vpython. I tried putting other path-setting statements 
in .profile to no avail. I suspect that somehow my .profile is not being 
processed when I start up X11. A colleage also had this problem. Is 
there a Unix expert who can advise us on this? Thanks.
