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
Linking /bin/xterm to /usr/X11/bin/xterm allows me to start a session
Question: is this the right thing to do on CentOS, or is this just a workaround?
Cheers

/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.

The right thing to do is set PATH as appropriate and then simply use xterm. Why are you using an absolute path?
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
