> XFILESEARCHPATH=/opt/csw/lib/X11/%T/%N%C:/usr/openwin/lib/%T/%N%C Preferably use XFILESEARCHPATH=${XFILESEARCHPATH-%D} XFILESEARCHPATH=$XFILESEARCHPATH:/opt/csw/lib/X11/%T/%N%S (%D is the default, and since all components are examined, the later ones have precedence, so it's kind of in reverse order).
