Luciano,
The reason why I'm using the absolute is simply because the default X settings (Starnet X-Win32)are setup that way, and as it works fine on Red Hat...
Anyhow, I now know what to do !! Thanks a lot for the quick answer
Cheers

Hi list
Im in the process of switching from a RedHat EL 4 to CentOS 5, and run into some problems
Im trying to open a X session to my Centos box, and got an error message stating that /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm is not found.
Surprisingly, /usr/X11R6/bin is almost empty, as compared to my RedHat box., and I am 100% sure I have selected X during the installation
/usr/X11R6 is deprecated, things have moved to /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /usr/lib, etc..
Linking /bin/xterm to /usr/X11/bin/xterm allows me to start a session
xterm is now in /usr/bin/xterm. yum install xterm.
Question: is this the right thing to do on CentOS, or is this just a workaround?
The right thing to do is set PATH as appropriate and then simply use xterm. Why are you using an absolute path?
