bash should be in /usr/local/bin/bash

xterm does exist (if you've bulit in or added XFREE86 support) and it
lives in:  /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm
Try using the "whereis" command, it's a wonderful thing: to wit:

bash-2.05$ whereis xterm
xterm: /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm /usr/X11R6/man/man1/xterm.1.gz
bash-2.05$ whereis bash
bash: /usr/local/bin/bash /usr/local/man/man1/bash.1.gz
