The solution was to load patches:
103566-35
105789-02
105790-07
this solved the problem-most people suggested a problem with .dt files or library path, but this was not the case as I suspected it was an Xserver(Xsun) problem
and searching Suns site provided the patches.
Thanks to the following people for their suggestions:
