I built and installed R4 on my Sun Sparcstation-1.

When I try executing clients out of /usr/bin/X11 I get an error that it
can't find the shared libraries. The error message looks like this:

	ld.so: libX11.so.4: not found

However, if I go to the client source directory and execute the client, 
the client executes just fine. 

Then, I added the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to be
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/X/mit/lib/Xaw:/usr/X/mit/lib/X:
	        /usr/X/mit/lib/Xau:/usr/X/mit/lib/Xaw:
	        /usr/X/mit/lib/Xmu:/usr/X/mit/lib/Xt

Now I was able to execute clients from /usr/X11/bin.
However, I still couldn't execute xterm and xload.

QUESTIONS: 

	1) Why am I not able to pick up the installed shared libraries 
	   from /usr/lib.

	2) Even when I set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH how come all the clients work 
	   except xload and xterm.

	3) How do I correct this problem.

Thanks,
