Alpha, configure and (brain dead) bash?

[SCHINCKE, KEITH (JSC-SM) (LM)]

System: Alpha Tru64 5.1a, openssh 3.4p1 and bash 2.04.

Problem: when configure comes to the test to find xauth, it is not able to
find it in /usr/bin/X11. This path is listed as one to test while looking
for xauth. It is of course found if I define the exact path with
--with-xauth.

Any one good with configure and bash to help me get this automatically
found?

Thanks in advance,

Keith
