It looks as if this message was posted by a student doing a course
somewhere where the popvision library was mentioned.

Perhaps he posted this to a local help list which relayed to pop-forum?

It is not enough just to install the poplog system.

You would have to fetch and install the popvision library.
It is available here:

    http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/popvision.tar.gz
        About 2.6 mbytes because it contains pre-compiled binaries for
        several platforms. I can make a smaller package for anyone
        who wants to compile after fetching.

After fetching this untar it in $poplocal/local

If you are using solaris or pc+linux you will already have the C
libraries precompiled.

If not, run one of the scripts in

    popvision/com/

that suits your platform. You may have to edit one of the scripts
if you don't have one for your platform.

You then have the option to create a saved image for rapid startup
by giving these two commands:

    mkdir $poplocalbin
    ./com/mkpopvision   # if you are in the popvision library

After that

    pop11 +popvision

should start up pop11 with the vision libraries compiled.
(add %x if you wish to run XVed.)

However on a modern fast computer the time saved by using a saved
image may be negligible.

Instead it suffices to start pop11 and then compile

    $poplocal/local/popvision/popvision.p

or just
    uses popvision

if you have installed it in the standard way.

If pop11 works for you after relinking then the above should work.
