Yep.

I'd already looked at that.  It reads:

# setup fink related paths. we assume that the fink directories exists.
if [ -z "$PATH" ]; then
   PATH=/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
else
   prepend_path PATH /sw/bin:/sw/sbin
fi
export PATH

Gnome-terminal

... which now reads:

	# System-wide .profile for sh(1)

	PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sw/bin"
	export PATH

	[ -r /etc/bashrc ] && source /etc/bashrc

but, even after a re-boot, still didn't fix the problem.

But maybe I'm just tired this evening ... I'll get back to it in the 
morning when I'm fresh.  Thanks for the advice.

cheers
