4.2. Getting your PATH right

The program will next check that you have the directory /usr/X11R6 (the standard installation directory) on your system and tell you that it needs to be in your PATH environment variable.

It will also check if you have the /usr/X386 directory as used by older (pre 3.0) versions of XFree86. If by chance you do, it will warn you that /usr/X11R6 must be before /usr/X386 in your PATH.

If everything is okay, just press Enter and go on, otherwise press Control-C to exit and make any necessary changes and restart xf86config.
