I have now added /usr/local/bin to the PATH of /etc/profile. Typing startx
still gives the same error message: afterstep: no such file or directory.
Changing the .xinitrc file as well didn't help either.
While there are only executable files in /usr/local/bin, none of them is
named "afterstep." Could this be the problem? Startx is trying to execute
a file that doesn't exist by that name? Or is there something else that is
wrong? I am grateful for all help.
