I have a fresh 64-bits install of FreeBSD 8.1 on a machine, but having issues with getting gnome to work.
I have followed the guidelines on
FreeBSD GNOME Project: GNOME 2.32 FAQ
In summary that is:
pkg_add -r gnome2
Add gnome_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf
After a reboot and logging in, there is no automatic start of gnome. The command startx gives: Command not found.
I then deinstalled gnome2 and instead installed gnome2-lite from ports and added the following to rc.conf:
dbus_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
and kept gnome_enable="YES" as the last line.
I then added "exec gnome-session" to ~/.xinitrc and ran startx. Again a Command not found. Also tried "exec /usr/local/bin/gnome-session" in .xinitrc.
After a reboot startx gave the same response.
Would could be wrong and how do I get gnome to work on this machine?
