The instructions for dealing with AIX 4.3.3 are in the Nways release
notes.  They were also in the NetView v5 release notes, but V6 makes the
necessary modifications automitically.  What you need to do is point
both the background (started under ovspmd)and foreground daemons
(started under ovw) to the X11R5 libraries instead of the X11R6
libraries that AIX 4.3.3 uses.  It's possible you migrated from NV v5 to
NV v6 and in the process the changes to the X11 LIBPATH is confusing
Nways.
