Subject: [gentoo-user] emerge -avt xfce4-meta; haven't got startxfce4.  Help, please!
Date: Tue, 9 Feb 2010 18:00:20 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100209180020.GA2921@muc.de> (raw)

Hi, Gentoo,

The Subject: just about says it all; following the instructions in "The
Xfce Configuration Guide", I did

    # emerge -avt xfce4-meta

followed by

    $ echo "exec startxfce4" > ~/.xinitrc

followed by

    $ startx.

The X-server complained about not finding startxfce4.  A quick find
command, "find / -name startxfce4" (and I do mean quick - it took only
half a second :-) demonstrated a complete absence of a file with that
name.

Help, please!  What do I need to do to get xfce running?
