That shows that the xrdb program is working. I'm surprised you could install xbase without having installed cpp as well. Which version of xbase are you using? > Does the above mean that the X system depends on cpp??. > And how do i get X to launch the programs (like xearth & an extra xterm > etc. etc.) ? Have you made sure that your .xsession file in your home directory is executable, and doesn't 'fall off the end' until you want your X session to end? This is normally done by execing the window manager as the last thing in the file, for example: #!/bin/bash # Sample .xsession file xterm & xearth & exec fvwm ...then your X session will end when you leave fvwm.
