newbie Qs



Hello All:
 
I've been lurking for months, trying to hold on until I knew enough that my questions would be somewhat intelligent...oh well. I tried. :-)
 
...First Q:
Building an Apache webserver at home with (newly installed) RH6.2 and My startx command is not found. I know this means that the proper X binaries' path needs to be set in my startup file. but I'm not real sure where my real startup file is...Is it the profile file in /etc? Or the .bashrc in /root? Or the bashrc in /etc? My research also pointed to an inittab file that looked like a true startup file, but I'm not sure how it works with the others.
 
And, although I think I found them once, if someone could give me a way to identify those binaries *definitely* so I could be sure about the correct path to them, that would be great also.
 
Anyway, I'm not big on necessarily having a gui except that for all of the mistakes in file management that I'm making in these early stages of learning it might make things go quicker
 
...Q number 2 (this one's a little tougher, I think)
I've loaded and configured (generically, using ./configure) mysql 3.22.32...but when I make install it aborts the installation as follows:
make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'my_init.c', needed by 'my_init.lo'. stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/local/mysql-3.22.32/client'
make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
 
Thanks in advance for any assistance, folks.
