It would help to know which files it could not open.
I presume you were not logged in as root (or temporarily superuser)
when you ran the installation script?
It should work if you have superuser privileges during installation.
Otherwise there must be something strange about SuSe linux.
Make sure these directories
/usr/local
and
/usr/local/bin
exist. It will create /usr/local/poplog and lots of subdirectories,
and installe a symbolic link
/usr/local/bin/poplog
which will work if /usr/local/bin is on your $PATH search list.
The installation script has been used many times on Redhat systems
but I have never tested it with Suse.
If you are using the version that is in the CD made in the school of
computer science, you could try, if you have a suitable connection,
fetching the latest version from
http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/linux-cd/
also accessible locally as
/bham/ftp/pub/dist/poplog/linux-cd
There are two files, AREADME.txt and the main gzipped tar file.
I hope that helps.
