Despite the fact that the top of the X(1) manpage says "X Version 11 Release 5", HP-UX 10.20 and later actually come with Release 6. If you want proof, just do a "what /usr/bin/X11/X". 10.20 comes with X11R6.1, and 11.x comes with X11R6.3. If you want to run the very latest release, you'll have to download the source from <http://x.org/> and build it yourself - probably not worth the hassle.

The basic core distribution of X11R6.1.1 can also be obtained from the Liverpool archive. The package names are:

o XR6src - source o XR6built - binaries

Notes:

the binaries are meant to be installed innn /usr/local/X11R6 (if you want them elsewhere, use a symbolic link, or grab the source)
most libraries come with archive and sharrred versions (and the built binaries mostly use the .sl versions)
this is JUST the core distribution (xc/)
xc/test and xc/workInProgress aren't incllluded in the built package (the source is present, but hasn't been looked at in the src packages)
