After decompression the directions are

1. open terminal and type pico .cshrc . then type
/sw/bin/init.csh and save
2. Type fink scanpackages (type password).then type
sudo dselect (press u for update then s for select
then i for install packages)

Problem

1. i have created .cshrc file in my home directory.(as
its default directory)
    but there is no file like init.csh .

2. but i started fink scanpackeges from .sw.fink
directory.
     it prompts for password.but after then sudo

Just to point out that this is in fact a PostgreSQL mailing list. You should
direct your finks questions to one of the finks lists. Try here

http://fink.sourceforge.net/lists/fink-beginners.php

Not sure exactly what your problem is below, but you should have

source /sw/bin/init.csh

in your .cshrc and then run fink scanpackages etc from a newly opened
terminal window.

Also init.csh should be in /sw/bin , if not then there was probably
something wrong with your initial install.

Any other problems I would send to the fink mailing list above.
