Need help starting X11R4.18 on sparc 2

I am trying to get X11R4.18 running on a "new" SUN sparc 2 that
has SunOS 4.1.1 installed on it. I built the X11 distribution with no
changes in any configuration file, and everything seemed to go fine
based on the log of the "make World" session. I did a "make install",
the ran ldconfig. [LD_LIBRARY_PATH was NOT defined during compilation.
<sundev/cg6reg.h> was retrieved from a SUN running SunOS 4.1.0.]
All is not well however, and I could use some help.
PROBLEM 1:
I have not been able to get xinit to start at all from the console.
I type "xinit" or "xinit -- Xsun" and variations of these. /usr/bin/X11
is in my path. (path vaviable is: /bin /usr/bin /usr/ucb /etc /usr/etc
/usr/local/bin /usr/tools /usr/bin/X11 /usr/openwin/bin /usr/openwin/demo .)
The following message appears on the console monitor:
xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): no server "X" in path.
I then typed: "ln -s /usr/bin/X11/Xsun X" and tried "xinit" again. This time
I got:
fatal server bug
no screens found
Can anyone explain what else I need to do to start X11 properly using xinit?
I have been trying to use the mit/server/ddx/sun/README file as a guide.
PROBLEM 2:
When I start clients like xeyes or xclock on my X terminal, they seem to
start up and run fine. When I start them on the SUN monitor (from an openwin
session), I get the following:
Warning: Widget class Eyes version mismatch (recompilation needed)
widget 11004 vs. intrinsics 11003
(or)
Warning: widget class VendorShell version mismatch (recompilation needed)
widget 11004 vs. intrinsics 11003.
Presumably this would not happen if xinit had started things properly and
I weren't in the openwin environment? Anyone know?
Thanks in advance for any advice, suggestions, comments or whatever.
