Probably your login script (autoexec.bat) in Linux is not exporting the
path to the X libraries.  And, with the ELF libraries going in places
not used by earlier Linux distributions, I wouldn't doubt that you might
find your X libraries in some place like /usr/i486-linux/lib, or 
/usr/elf/lib, instead of the traditional /usr/X11R6/lib.
