I have installed 2.1.5 and all the basics are working (bash and users are set up). As part of the install I took the setup options after the main install to set up XF86Config. I may have made a mistake when I accepted the default to place XF86Config in /etc. I also copied it to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 after things were done. At this point none of the programs in /usr/X11R6/bin work even though they have the executable permission is set. Do I need to compile things from xc/programs/Xserver with make Makefile, make Makefiles, and make depend? The Walnut Creek handbook, man pages, and X11R6 docs are not clear on if I need to compile things now. If I do need to compile are the above make commands the ones I need to run? Thanks for any help with obvious newbie questions! Eric Kylstra erick@accessone.com
