Yes. Check your .bashrc file. If you find a line like: PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin add to it the string ':/usr/X11R6/bin' For example, PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin If you don't have a .bashrc, make one, and put this in it: PATH=$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin You should also check your .bash_profile and ensure that it contains the line if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then source ~/.bashrc; fi Greg
