Sao, Thanks for trying to help. I must be helpless with this problem, I'm just not going to use vim for now and stick to pico for the time being. I feel very guilty for taking up so much of your time with this thread.
I sure appreciate this forum. It's Great. Thanks once more. Frank

fvs,

I understand...but one more thing you could try is to mv your ~/.tcshrc away and create a new one with only 'source /sw/bin/init.csh' to see if it works.

First run:

cd (to go to your home directory)

Then:

mv .tcshrc .tcshrc_bak

Then:

pico .tcshrc (to open the text editor Pico, and create a file named .tcshrc)

When the text editor open, type:

source /sw/bin/init.csh

at the end of the line press Return once.

Then press Control-O, Return, and control-X

to save the file and return to the prompt.

Now you should type rehash or close-open the terminal window.

Open Terminal.app again and run:

echo $PATH

Please read (look for the header "Stealing Superuser"):
http://www.busan.edu/~nic/networking/puis/ch04_03.htm

You don't need your current working directory as part of your path. If you're trying to run an application/binary that is in the same directory as you, simply append ./ to it. For example:

If I am in the /usr/local/bin directory, and that directory isn't part of my path, and I need to run "foo.binary", all I have to do is type ./foo.binary and it will run. The "./" means, look for the following command in the current working directory.

Chris,This is all I get,
Fri:16 % cd /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app/
Fri:16 % sw_vers
ProductName: Mac OS X
ProductVersion: 10.2.6
BuildVersion: 6L60
Fri:16 % fink -V
fink: Command not found.
Fri:16 % echo $SHELL
/bin/tcsh
Fri:16 % echo $0
-tcsh
Fri:16 %

Fvs, there's no need to type the above part.

Try this to get the fink version:

/sw/bin/fink -V

After that, try sao's post above about moving and replacing yout .tcshrc with a fresh clean copy.

Yellow, I did what sao told me only to get an error message with 101 eroors. here is what you asked for.
/sw/bin/fink -V

I personaly think something in my terminal is corrupt or I screwed up something in the terminal, Any way to start a new clean terminal? Did you see Chris results from his Terminal.app and then look at mine, Their not the same in detail. Hey guys thanks this is beating me. Frank

Please post the results of:

ls -laF ~

Also, your fink installation is quite out of date. Current is:

yellow% fink -V

But we'll get to that when we get to that.

Are you an admin on this computer?

Single user and admin

OK.

Do these steps one at a time to clean up your account:

mv .bash_profile .bash_profile.bak

mv .bashrc .bashrc.bak

mv .cshrc .cshrc.bak

mv .tcshrc .tcshrc.bak

mv .login .login.bak

Quit Terminal.app (or whatever terminal application you're using) and then ReOpen it.

Post back when you're done with all that.

It's done. Frank

Now,

pico ~/.login

And put in:

setenv PATH "/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin"
source /sw/bin/init.csh

Save and close it. Quit Terminal.app, then reopen Terminal.app. Then in the new window:

echo $PATH

And post that back here.

Hi Yellow, I looks good, I removed vim-nox and just want my old vi back, How can I get the old version back? I remove all of vim* and theirs not a trace in my terminal. Can you give me some direction. Thanks Frank

your path is now correct for using fink. I think now you should tell fink to update itself to the latest version. Try this:

fink selfupdate

I did the fink selfupdate, In fink list I only see vim 6.1 and vim-nox 6.1, the first down load I pick vim-nox because I'm not running X and to down load vim /with all other 12 programs takes forever, I'm on dialup modem and it takes forever. I just want vi editor simple. Don't need all the extras.
Can you show me the way? Frank

Yellow, I downloaded vin-nox from fink sucessfully and went to /sw/bin. tried to launch vim, to no avail;
