Hi Bosse!

This sounds like you are not having /usr/X11R6/bin (or where you installed
X11) in your path. Before running X, do this:

If you are running csh or tcsh, type as below
set path=($path /usr/X11R6/bin)

Or if running sh, ksh or bash, type as below
PATH=$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin;export PATH

Good Luck!
