        Get /usr/openwin/bin out of your PATH and try it. ==> same as FAQ

    (b) by raoul@MIT.EDU,
        Once you've got it started, I'd suggest setting up an xinitrc and
        running the startx script in the distribution. Use the startx script
        enclosed, and put the xinitrc in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit.

        ==> If you need these two shell scripts -- startx and xinitrc,
        please let me know, I will mail you directly.

    (a) by Richard Pieri, ratinox@unilab.dfci.harvard.edu
        What? Why did you link /usr/openwin/lib/whatever when compiling
        R6? Are you using LD_LIBRARY_PATH? If you are, disable that and
        try again.

    (b) by Greg, greg.bartlett@master.cna.tek.com
        Typically this happens when you have an executable that is dynamically
        linked to a library (in this case: /usr/openwin/lib/libXaw.so.4)
        that is an older revision on your machine than where it was built.
        You can either live with the error, or get (or build) a newer library.

Thanks Richard Pieri, ratinox@unilab.dfci.harvard.edu
