The problem was solved bei using the truss command in combination with ovw, i.e.
truss ovw; the output shows that the directory where ovw expects the nls
subdirectory did not exist. There were two workarounds:

a) Set Environmentvariable XNLSPATH to the new location of nls, i.e.
   /vol/X11R5/lib/X11/nls
   (Thanks to Patrick O'Brien <pobrien@cfa.harvard.edu>)

b) Make a symbolic link from the existing directory /vol/X11R5/lib/X11/nls
   to the expected directory which did not exist.

Thanks
Manfred
