When attempting to run poplog, the program again reports that the shared libraries cannot be loaded due to libXm.so.2 not existing (the link was definitely created). Would the best thing to do be to find an older version of motif? Thanks again for your help, Graham.

After creating the link you must execute a command whose name escapes me now. The purpose of this command is to create a cache of the shared libraries available. This command is executed automatically every time the machine is booted, so either you find out its name or you reboot the machine. Perhaps 'apropos shared' or 'apropos library' will give you the right clue. Sorry for being vague, but I don't have a Linux machine available now, and my old neuron is overworked. P.

That would be /sbin/ldconfig run as root. -- Cheers, Jan Bernard van Doorn

It is possible that the libXm.so.3 libraries are not compatible with libXm.so.2 and therefore the X facilities in poplog may not work with libXm.so.3 A few weeks ago Chris Dollin reported that Xved had stopped working when he installed RedHat linux 7.3, and the only fix was to relink poplog including some recompiling, as in this shell script: relinking.linux.poplog in here: http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/tools/ I don't have access to a version of RedHat 7.3 so I can't yet produce a new version of poplog to go with the new libraries. I believe 7.3 will be installed before long on some machines in our department, so I hope I can then produce a recompiled version. In the meanwhile if anyone can track down the place in the poplog sources where it refers to libXm.so maybe we can find a way to change it so that it looks instead for libXm.so.3 I think it must be whereever this POP-11 variable is set up: XLINK_EXLIBFILES Its value in the version of Poplog I am using is this list of strings: ['-lXm' '-lXt' '-lXext' '-lX11'] I suspect it's in $popsrc/syscomp/poplink_main.p (which is used to create the poplink saved image, which is used to link/relink poplog). But I have not looked closely.
