    Further to this exactly the same things happen when I edit the
INSTALL_MOTIF_POPLOG script to change /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so to
be /usr/lib/libXm.so.2
    Then of course it runs ./pglink -xm -map but the errors both in the
install.log and to stderr are exactly the same. It also says both times

Standard images made in popsavelib

    I don't know if this means trouble but so far what I use is working.
