I'm using Mac OS 10.8. I ran the /sw/fink/bin/init.sh
script using the bash
command which was supposed to make the fink/bin
folder part of the $PATH
variable for the current session.
The fink command didn't work, so I ran the script again with the .
command which I was told was equivalent to the source
command; I was able to call fink now without an absolute path.
Why did .
work and not bash
? Is it because the sh
and bash
commands run with their own temporary $PATH
variable?
