Thanks, Sergei. I went there and if I could find fink-0.9.0-full.tar.gz, I
wouldn't know where to put it in the file structure:
MiriamHeller
Avatar's World.mm
Desktop
Documents
Downloads
Dropbox
Movies
Music
Pictures
Public
Sites
temp
venple.err
venread.err
Hmmm. What are these .err files?
Isn't there a:
Install Xcode 4.xx for dummies?
Install Octave for dummies?
Install gnuplot for dummies?
Where the user can actually follow the step by step procedures that are 100%
linear where all the directories are 100% specified and, if there are patches,
the user is told exactly where to input (type them), e.g., into a terminal
window or a file and if a file, where to find that file?
Thanks, Serg

I am not a Mac guy (neither owned it nor used it), though I am very much a
UNIX/Linux guy.
So, I can't answer your Mac-specific questions - my intent was to give you
pointers on home directory.
OTOH, since Mac is a UNIX machine, so if in a terminal window you type a
command like this (I'm giving you a Linux version - try 'man find' in your
terminal window first) :
find / -name whatever_file_you_are_looking_for -follow -print
, you'll eventually find the file you are looking for with its full path.
Regards,
Sergei.
P.S. I think you should get accustomed to working with command line. I guess
there are guides on it for Mac users too.
