There is no need to extract it.
If you used CVSup then the source will be in whatever directory you
specified as the prefix in the config file.
Head into that directory, then into xc
Then type "make World" and wait.
OK, I got a message that said:
- Full build of Release 6.6 of the X Window System complete.
When done, type make install.
Then give it a try.
