I had the same problem. I have the c-news package from 2.1.5 or so,
and the tin package from 2.2.1. The only problem is that tin is looking
for inews in /usr/local/bin, while inews is in /usr/local/libexec/news/inject,
if I remember well.

Either make a link, or add the inews directory to your path. I'm not sure
if the latter solution will work, I used the first one :-)

Hope this helps.
