More than likely you do have it installed, but /usr/X11R6/bin is not in
your path.

To check, do this:

echo $PATH

If /usr/X11R6/bin is not there, then do this:

(for bash)
export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/X11R6/bin

(for csh/tcsh)
setenv PATH ${PATH}:/usr/X11R6/bin

Then you should be able to execute it. You can add this path to your
/etc/profile (or just ~/.profile).
