|The files are in the places that the Netscape README says to put them; the
|paths are typed just as the README says to do (e.g. forward slash after
|"nls"). Obviously, I've put these statements in the wrong place. Where do
|they go? It might help to know I start up X from root with xdm, use the
|XF86_S3 server, and once I've got the server running, use the xterm to
|start Netscape.
Well, I don't use xdm -- I log in and my user profiles run startx so this
might change where these can be placed and picked up. I would guess that
putting them in ~/.xinitrc or the global default xinitrc would probably
work for both schemes but I don't know enough about how xdm transfers
control.
For the log-in-and-startx method, if your root user is running csh/tcsh,
put them in /etc/csh.cshrc:
setenv XKEYSYMDB /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB
setenv XAPPLRESDIR /usr/X11R6/lib/X11
setenv XNLSPATH /usr/share/nls/
or if your root user is running sh/ksh, put them in /etc/profile:
XKEYSYMDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB
XAPPLRESDIR=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11
XNLSPATH=/usr/share/nls/
export XKEYSYMDB XAPPLRESDIR XNLSPATH
