Fred,

From man startx(1):

SEE ALSO
       xinit(1), X(7), Xserver(1), Xorg(1), xorg.conf(5)

Try:

# whereis X

If X is installed, it should return:

# X: /usr/local/bin/X

pkg_which if X is installed should return:

# pkg_which /usr/local/bin/X

xorg-server-1.7.5,1

If it doesn't, then the full X server isn't installed:

Try:

# whereis xorg

xorg: /usr/ports/x11/xorg

If xorg isn't installed, cd to:

/usr/ports/x11/xorg

and

make config-recursive (If you add any options, run make config-recursive a second time after the shell prompt returns)

and then

make install clean

Hi Oliver and Tim,

I installed xinit but startx still doesn't exist.  whereis returns
nothing and man startx returns nothing.

On my system (with X, obviously, already installed):

beta# whereis startx

startx: /usr/local/bin/startx /usr/local/man/man1/startx.1.gz

beta# pkg_which /usr/local/bin/startx

xinit-1.2.0

beta# whereis xinit

xinit: /usr/local/bin/xinit /usr/local/man/man1/xinit.1.gz
/usr/ports/x11/xinit

I' m not certain about the p5/Perl TK questions, but in the file:
/usr/ports/x11-toolkits/p5-Tk/pkg-descr
there is this description:

This a re-port of a perl interface to Tk8.4 (John Ousterhout's production
release).

Perl API is essentially the same as Tk800.025 but has not
been verified as compliant.

It also includes all the C code parts of Tix8.1.4 from SourceForge.
The perl code corresponding to Tix's Tcl code is not fully implemented.

This version (Tk804.025) is only likely to work with perl5.8+.

Hello,

Where would I find startx?  I assume it is part one of the ports under
X11
but I don't want to install all of them to find it.

Also, is p5-Tk the same as Perl/Tk?

Best regards,

Fred
