I installed xfree86 and xemacs together without any apparent problems.
But when I type "xemacs" in an xterm in XDarwin it says command not found.
I copied .xinitrc from /private/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc and sourced init.sh
at the top of the file and my .cshrc file looks like this:


source /sw/bin/init.csh
setenv TERM xterm-color

Any ideas what the problem is?

A guess: your path variable for the shell in that terminal window does not include /usr/X11R6/bin (or whereever the binary lives). You can look at your environment in that window with the 'env' command to see what PATH is set to.


Also, the file your shell uses to initialize the environment depends on what shell it is. If you are using tcsh (the default prior to 10.3) then .cshrc will work. If you are using 'bash' (the default for 10.3), it's a different file (.bashrc).

Cheers,

Justin
