Please include the list in your replies so everyone can benefit from the 
discussion.

The path can be set by editing the appropriate dot file. If you're using 
the bash shell (default in latest version of OS x), edit your 
~/.profile file and put the line:

export PATH=/sw/bin:$PATH

This isn't going to fix your problem. As I said, I don't understand the 
other message - I'm a long time Unix/Linux user, but some of the error 
messages are different on OS X. It looks to me like it's some sort of 
problem with shared/dynamic libraries. I'd try joining a fink list 
since people on it are more knowledgeable about OS X than on this list.
