## 4.2. Getting your `PATH` right

The program will next check that you have the directory `/usr/X11R6` (the standard installation directory) on your system and tell you that it needs to be in your `PATH` environment variable.

It will also check if you have the `/usr/X386` directory as used by older (pre 3.0) versions of XFree86. If by chance you do, it will warn you that `/usr/X11R6` must be before `/usr/X386` in your `PATH`.

If everything is okay, just press Enter and go on, otherwise press Control-C to exit and make any necessary changes and restart `xf86config`.
