Re: Problem with installation of Octave
I checked the various packages that I have installed regarding X:
libX11-devel, libX11-xcb1, libX11_6, libXau-devel, libXau6,
libXcomposite1, libXcursor1, libXdamage1, libXdmcp-devel, libXdmcp6,
libXext6, libXfixes3, libXfont2_2, libXft2, libXi6, libXinerama1,
libXmuu1, libXrandr2, libXrender1, libXss1, libXtst6,
libxcb-composite0, libxcb-devel, libxcv-ewmh2, libxcb-glx0,
libxcb-icccm4, libxcb0image0 (and some other X-related libraries, just
skipping them, as they seem not to add more information), xauth,
xcursor-themes, xkbcomp, xkeyboard-config, xorg-server,
xorg-server-common, xorgproto.
There is no command "xinit". I start the X server using the command
"X" and that seems to work fine. However, I do see a pacakge xinit now
that I explicitly look for it.

Arjen
