Run ldconfig on your new shared libraries.  Example, I have X11R4 installed in
/home/X/usr.  And I run, "ldconfig /home/X/usr/lib" after installing.

When you install mkfontdir, it installs it as "mkfontdir" and not "mkfontdir.sh"
which is what all the config files expect.  I ran into this one trying to 
build some contrib software with the -DUseInstalled option.  Also, the make
install from the $(TOP) directory does not install the scripts.  I had to
go into the scripts source directory to get these to install.

By the way, if you have OpenWindows as well, be sure to put the location of
the R4 libraries in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH before the openwindows binaries.
For example, I have openwindows mounted in /home/xnews.  Before building X11
software, I do: "setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /home/X/usr/lib:/usr/lib"
ld (in SunOS 4.0.x) looks at LD_LIBRARY_PATH before the options you specify 
with -L on the command line.

There is a name change of GetHostname to XGetHostname and a new routine called
XrmDestroyDatabase in xlib that is used by some of the libraries like Xt.  So,
it matters which version of libX11 you are using.
