Subject: Problems installing X Windows


I just installed RedHat 6.2 as a server.  When I went to "startx" the
response was there was no such file or program.  I decided to assume there
was none installed, so I followed the steps for installation outlined in a
copy of "Mastering Linux" as follows:

# rpm -i XFree86-x.x.x-x.i386.rpm		// x indicates current
numbers on Zoot
cd.
# rpm -i XFree86-100dpi-fonts-x.x.x-x.i386.rpm	// ignore uppercase errors,
damn spell checker
# rpm -i XFree86-75dpi-fonts-x.x.x-x.i386.rpm
# rpm -i Xconfigurator-x.x-x.i386.rpm
 	/* Here I was told about missing dependencies.
1. libgdk-1.2.so.0
2. libgtk-1.2.so.0
 I couldn't find them on the cd by any number so I skipped it	*/
# rpm -i X11R6-contrib-3.3.2-11.i386.rpm
# rpm -i Xfree86-VGA16-x.x.x-x.i386.rpm
Figuring I could survive without Xconfigurator, I rebooted and did a startx.
# startx
xauth: creating new authority file /root/.Xauthority
execve failed for /etc/X11/X (errno2)
_X11TransSocketUNIXconnect: Can't connect: errno=111
giving up
xinit: Connection refused (errno 111):unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
Any suggestions??
