You need to fix a problem with paths to the binaries or programmes. 
There are about three ways. The most easiest one is determine what your 
login shell is. In Terminal you might type

	echo $SHELL

If the answer is /bin/tcsh, then you need to edit .tcshrc and add this 
line to it:

	source /sw/bin/init.csh

If the answer is /bin/bash, then you need to edit .bashrc and add this 
line to it:

	. /sw/bin/init.sh

When you now log-off and log-in again it might be fixed. If not, then 
next method comes into action:

If your login shell is /bin/tcsh, then you need to edit /etc/csh.login 
and add these lines to it:

	if ("${uid}" != "0") then
	    source /sw/bin/init.csh
	endif

If your login shell is /bin/bash, then you need to edit /etc/profile 
and add these lines to it:

	if [ `whoami` != "root" ]
	then
	    . /sw/bin/init.sh
	fi

If this fails too after logging off and logging in again, there is one 
third option as described in this document: 
http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1067.html. The key PATH should 
have a value based of what Terminal reports when you type 'echo $PATH' 
added by ':/sw/bin'. The setting in ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist should 
work at once when you launch an application anew.
