X headers missing

    Hi everyone.
    I installed Netbsd 3.0 without any X11 stuff, because I
wanted to 
start with Xorg.
    I installed xorg ( in meta-pkgs, pkgsrc-2005Q4 ), but X
won't start. 
"startx" and "xorgcfg" won't work, I
have to write 
"/usr/pkg/xorg/bin/xorgcfg" to config Xorg, and 
"/usr/pkg/xorg/bin/startx" doesn't work; it
doesn't start anything but 
gives the message:
         /xauth: not found /
         /xinit: not found/
    I then tried to install x11-links ( in misc,
pkgsrc-2005Q4 ), but I 
get the message:
         /x11-links requires X headers to be installed./
    After looking about "install X hearders" in
google, it seems that 
severals users have had the same problem, but I didn't see
the solution 
anywhere.
    What should I do ?

Try a
$xorgconfig
for start?

It should need no path specified. The same stands for
startx. Normally, 
xorgconfig enables you to start an X-Window session. Which
window 
manager do you use? Try WindowMaker for start. And  another
hint, the 
root directory and the user directory should contain an
.xinitrc file, 
which you will find in /usr/X11 /lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc. Edit
and tweak 
.xinitrc.
For WMaker add the line wmaker &
For KDE add the line startkde
for GNOME add the gnome-session line

Best regards,
Bogdan

Try to edit your .xinitrc

Add /usr/pkg/xorg to your PATH.

I think you need to add X11_TYPE=xorg to your mk.conf.

(I use Xorg myself too from pkgsrc on NetBSD and Linux.)

    That went perfectly. Thanks a lot.
    In fact, I found that it was in the
netbsd-documentation. I should 
have read it better.
