I can verify that none of the above is needed. Looking at the
configure.in from openssh-4.5p1 i see.
AC_ARG_WITH(xauth,
[ --with-xauth=PATH Specify path to xauth program ],
[
if test -n "$withval" && test "x$withval" != "xno" && \
test "x${withval}" != "xyes"; then
xauth_path=$withval
fi
],
[
TestPath="$PATH"
TestPath="${TestPath}${PATH_SEPARATOR}/usr/X/bin"
TestPath="${TestPath}${PATH_SEPARATOR}/usr/bin/X11"
TestPath="${TestPath}${PATH_SEPARATOR}/usr/X11R6/bin"
TestPath="${TestPath}${PATH_SEPARATOR}/usr/openwin/bin"
AC_PATH_PROG(xauth_path, xauth, , $TestPath)
if (test ! -z "$xauth_path" && test -x
"/usr/openwin/bin/xauth") ; then
xauth_path="/usr/openwin/bin/xauth"
fi
]
)
This will search your PATH before X11R6 anyway. If you just simply put
xorg_prefix/bin in your path it will work.
grep found.*xauth config.log
configure:30816: found /usr/X11R7/bin/xauth
