Objects & Images module at the University of Reading, right?
Although I cannot help you with the bham-linux-poplog.tar.gz package I
installed Poplog with another package a week ago. The package I am using is
linux-pc-1553a.tar.gz. It provides an install script at
./INSTALL/LINK_MOTIF_POPLOG which worked for me with minor modifications.
Try using this package - it contains everything neccessary to complete the
assignment.

BTW: Redhat uses a lot of non-standard filenames and directory structures so
it can be that the installation script won't work. If you get stuck just
write a follow-up or drop me a mail. However, I would recommend switching
to another distro (like Debian or SuSE, or Gentoo, if you're more advanced
and have a fast computer).

Hope that helps,
Jan
