X Windows & NFS Problem

I have a SUN 386i/250 (Caesar) where I am running the X Window System
direct from MIT.  The actual stuff is located in the directory /files/X11
with subdirectories bin, include, and lib.  I have the following symbolic
links:

        /usr/bin/X11 ->      /files/X11/bin
        /usr/lib/X11 ->      /files/X11/lib
        /usr/include/X11 ->  /files/X11/include
        /usr/lib/libX* ->    /files/X11/lib/libX*
        /export/X11 ->       /files/X11

It runs like it suppose to.  I then nfs mounted "/export/X11" from caesar
to /files/X11 on Gaius (SUN 386i/150).  I also created the symbolic links
mentioned previously.  The nfs mount and symbolic links work like they are
supposed to.  Gaius is set up exactly the same as caesar with the
exception the /files/X11 is a nfs mount from caesar.  The problem is it
doesn't work.   The following is what I get:

   (31) gaius> xdm
   ld.so: libXaw.so.4: not found
   (32) gaius> xterm
   ld.so: libXaw.so.4: not found
   (33) gaius> xinit
   ld.so: libXmu.so.4: not found

The following is a ls:

   (39) gaius> ls libX*
   libX11.a       libXaw.so.4    libXinput.a    libXmu.so.4.  libXt.so.4.0
   libX11.so.4.2  libXaw.so.4.0  libXmu.a       libXmu.so.4.0
   libXau.a       libXdmcp.a     libXmu.sa.4.0  libXt.a
   libXaw.a       libXext.a      libXmu.so.4    libXt.sa.4.0

Does anybody have an idea of what is happening?  Even when I linked
libXaw.so.4 to libXaw.so.4.0 I get the same message.
