I'd recommend you add /usr/X11R6/bin to your path variable (either
.cshrc or .profile depending on the shell you are using).
I assume you are doing it from the root account and you have
correctly excluded . (dot - current dir) from your path.

Try ./xdm. Alos check for the presence of X and the corresponding link
to the appropriate server. I recommend you use the startx command
and when things work you can switch to xdm.
