Well, if you're running on a Sun with shared libraries, it probably means 
that you haven't setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH to something that includes the 
directories where your shared X11R4 libraries are located.  

LD_LIBRARY_PATH is supposed to be a colon-separated list of directories
that are searched when the runtime loader tries to resolve references
to shared libraries.  After creating the shared libraries for X, you
may also wish to rerun ldconfig to update the link editor's cache.  I
haven't noticed that it makes much difference, but the man pages imply
that there's a performance gain from doing it.

See the Sun man pages on ld and ldconfig for more information.
