Yes, you're not alone... I've had the same problem a while ago, and some
how managed to fix it, here's what I did (I'm sure I offended a few system
mangers!), there is probably a better way, but this works:

in .cshrc, added to path environment variable:

                        /nfs/xanadu_xsp10/bins /nfs/ftools/bin.perl \
                        /nfs/heasoft/SunOS_5.6_sparc/scripts \
                        /nfs/heasoft/SunOS_5.6_sparc/bin \
                        /nfs/iraf/bins /nfs/ciao/bin \
                        /nfs/ciao/ots/saord/bin.sun4-sol26

in .login:

setenv PGPLOT_FONT /nfs/pgplot/grfont.dat

source $HOME/.cxcds.csh
source /nfs/heasoft/heasoft_login
source /nfs/iraf/bins/iraf_login
setenv EXT sol
setenv PGPLOT_FONT $PGPLOT_DIR/grfont.dat
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /nfs/ciao/lib:$XANBIN/lib:$XANBIN/lib/itcl:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
