    I can set my XENVIRONMENT to my resource file in my shell,
    but when I try to do that in my program by using the 
	    putenv(string)
    command, it gives me a segmentation fault.


Perhaps you are calling putenv with an automatic variable?  The string
you pass to putenv must stay around forever.  Well, not quite forever;
check the Sun man page for details.
