## 2.3. After either Full or Minimal Install above:

Add /usr/X11R6/bin to the default path for sh in `/etc/profile` and for csh in `/etc/csh.login` if they are not already there:

> `

>      # echo 'set path = ($path /usr/X11R6/bin)' >>/etc/csh.login
>      # echo 'PATH=$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin' >>/etc/profile

> `

Or make sure all who use X put `/usr/X11R6/bin` in their shell's ``path'' variable.

Next either reboot or invoke `ldconfig` as root to put the shared libraries in `ld.so`'s cache:

> `

>      # ldconfig /usr/lib /usr/local/lib /usr/X11R6/lib

> `

If you had already configured `X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc` or `X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/*` omit the `xinit-config` or `xdm-config` archive or unpack it separately and merge in your customizations.

The `fscl` and `f100` archives are optional and can be omitted if you are short on space. The optional `link` archive allows you to reconfigure and customize a X server binary. The optional `prog` archive is needed only for writing or compiling X applications. The optional `pex` archive contains pex clients and libraries for building 3D graphics applications.

> NOTE: You don't need to uncompress the font files, but if you uncompress them anyway you must run `mkfontdir` in the corresponding font directory; otherwise your server will abort with the message ```could not open default font 'fixed'`''.
