My default shell is tcsh. Until today, Apple's X11 was working
perfectly. Now when I start up X11, every terminal window has this:

tcsh: if: Expression Syntax.

None of my aliases are working. Terminal.app works OK. I have checked
my .xinitrc and .cshrc files, and I can't figure out what's going on.
It worked yesterday, and I haven't made any changes to the system since
yesterday.

You updated your Fink xfontpath package, right? The latest version has a bug that causes this. Until this gets fixed, you can either

- downgrade xfontpath to the previous version:

  fink install xfontpath-0.4-12

- or fix the bug yourself by editing (as root) the file /sw/etc/profile.d/xfontpath.csh. Change a "=" sign (the only one that is in this file) to "==".
