I had trouble installing NAS on my newly build LFS (development) system.
Until I found this note from Richard that mentioned the problem:
http://archives.linuxfromscratch.org/mail-archives/blfs-dev/2003-October/004396.html
There was a reply from Tushar that said the problem was fixed - Can
someone tell me where the fix is?
When I do the install of a package I usually just use a regular 'su' and
execute the installation commands. The path that I get doesn't include
/usr/X11R6/bin. Here is the path that I have after su'ing:
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
Can someone point me to what I missed?
How are you using su? If you are doing su, it will use your existing
PATH. If you are using su -, it will run /etc/profile and
/root/.bash_profile. Somewhere in there you need to set the PTH to
include /usr/X11R6/bin. Take a look at

I was just doing 'su' without the '-'. And I was expecting that I would
just get my existing path. But that isn't what is happening.
It must be a consequence of doing the build and install while in a
chroot environment.
Thanks for the feedback Bruce,
Jay
