As has been pointed out elsewhere, it's a path thing. The root account
typically does not have "." in the path, *on purpose*.

Even if you type "/usr/openwin/bin/openwin", you might find that the
rest of your environment is not set up for OpenWindows and/or X.

Go create a user account, try it there, if it still fails, you might have
a path problems with the libraries, etc.
