Looks fine.  The 'big long string' tells the loader where to find the
shared libraries that the X programs use.

There should be a program called 'X' in you X-Windows bin directory
(probably /usr/X11/bin).  If startx (or xinit) can't find the program,
either you don't have that directory in your path or there is no 'X'
binary.  On all my machines, 'X' is a symbolic link to the correct
Xserver to run (e.g., X -> Xsun on a Sun, X -> XF68_SVGA on an Atari).

If you don't have the X binary directory in your path, you'll need to
add that (e.g. 'PATH=$PATH:/usr/X11/bin export PATH') or you'll need to
create the symbolic link to the correct X server.  Unfortunately, I don't
know which is the correct X server for your Mac.
