Solaris XDRIVERs

Hello fellow GRASSers:

I just downloaded the Solaris 2.X version (binaries) of GRASS4.1 from the moon.
I followed the directions in the README file (e.g., cat | zcat | tar...), and 
edited the grass4.1 and etc/monitorcap files to reflect the location of the
binaries( e.g., $GISBASE).  I started up grass and tried to start up one of the
XDRIVERS (X0) and got the following error:
pset <afiwc> in Location <korea> 

	Mapset <afiwc> in Location <korea> 
	GRASS 4.1 > d.mon start=x0

	ld.so.1: x0: fatal: libX11.so.4: can't open file: errno=2
	Killed
	Error - Can't set up pipe to graphics device.
	Problem selecting x0. Will try once more
	Error - Can't set up pipe to graphics device.

        Mapset <afiwc> in Location <korea> 
        GRASS 4.1 > d.mon start=x0

I also noticed in the README file that this version uses message queues instead
of fifos for communication with the monitors.  If this is true, why does the
etc/monitorcap file still set up fifos??

Any help would be appreciated.  Respond to list or to me.  Thanks!!
