PATH Problems BLFS XFree86
Hello and Good Day!
Got the latest LFS5.1.1 up and running with no issues! I have done this successfully many times and so I wanted to get further into LFS so I have been following blfs. I got to the point where I thought I could get Xinstalled. XFree86 installed with no issues i ran ldconfig and that worked as it should. However when I run 'XFree86 -configure' I get the error that it is not there. I am thinking that my paths are not set up right because if I do '/usr/X11/yad/yada/XFree86 then i get the results i need. The problem is that startx is not in my path along with everything else that X uses. I had followed all of the page that setup the bash shell. It seems that the scripts aren't running becuase it is not setting my path. Here is the script that I believe sets up the paths for X. cat > /etc/profile.d/X.sh << "EOF" if [ -x /usr/X11R6/bin/X ]; then pathappend /usr/X11R6/bin fi if [ -d /usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig ] ; then pathappend /usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig PKG_CONFIG_PATH fi EOF it is in my /etc/profile.d but it is not working. I was wondering if anyone can help, as I am not sure where else to put the path statement for '/usr/X11R6/bin' I don't mind doing it manually but I am not sure where to add it to etc/profile and what else the line would have to say. Also, since the path is not working I am presuming that the: f [ -d /usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig ] ; then pathappend /usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig PKG_CONFIG_PATH is not working either. I would like to solve the script issue because I would like to be able to use the other scripts tha blfs provides for bash. Any suggestions or past experience with BLFS 5.1. I didn't find any current isssues with this release but I may not have looked in the right place! thanks, |
Try "chmod ug+x *" in /etc/profile.d directory.
I had similar problems and this command solved them. |
