just execute a command:
touch ~/local.profile
this will help

Try

ls -l ~/finder/local.profile

does that file exist?

If not, and you need the "keys for the finder project", you'll need to find out what happened to that local.profile file. Either what it was renamed to, why it was deleted, and possibly restore the file from backup.

If you don't really need to use that environment setup and that is something put in every user's .profile by default, whether or not they need the ~/finder/local.profile or not, then you can just comment that line out in your .profile.

So change
. ~finder/local.profile
TO
# . ~finder/local.profile
