You'll have to remake a X11 server as it needs extentions in the server for
running PEX  programs. Check /usr/X386/lib/X11/config/site.def and read the
READMEs    in the  /usr/X386/lib/X11/etc    to    find out  to    recompile
server. You'll have to get the X386 linkkit.

By  default to limit  the size of  the server, PEX  is  not compiled in the
server.
