Can you please file a bug report at http://xquartz.macosforge.org ... I think naming it something like 50-XQuartz might be prudent. Thanks, Jeremy On Mar 16, 2010, at 11:42, Adam Mercer wrote:

Hi

Just installed the 2.5.0rc1 on SL and found a minor annoyance. The binaries from the system X11 are in the path ahead of the XQuartz binaries:

$ which xterm /usr/X11/bin/xterm $ echo $PATH /Users/ram/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/opt/X11/bin $

The DISPLAY variable is correctly set:

$ echo $DISPLAY /tmp/launch-3ESeJo/org.macosforge.xquartz:0 $

I imagine that this is due to path_helper reading the files in /etc/paths.d in alphabetical order, as renaming /etc/paths.d/XQuartz to 00XQuartz, for example, results in the XQuartz binaries ahead of the system X11 binaries in the path.

I can do this manually but I wonder if this should be done in the installer, otherwise the system X11 binaries are going to be used?

Cheers
