Running X from /usr/local

[scott worley <sworley@houston.rr.com>]

Hi,

I built XFree86 4.0.1 from source and installed into /usr/local with ProjectRoot=/usr/local/X11R6 and EtcX11Directory=ProjectRoot/etc.

When I run /usr/local/X11R6/bin/startx I don't believe I'm starting X 4.0.1.  This startx has on its last line xinit ... without any path.  Since my default path has /usr/bin/X11R6 in it won't this start the old X?

Should I put /usr/local/X11R6/bin as the lead in my PATH?

Also, do I need to update /etc/ld.so.conf with the /usr/local entries for X4 and is the order important in ld.so.conf?

Thanks,
