Thanks, I tried that and it then installed ok, but now I'm having more
problems running it. First when I tried to run it complianed it was
missing libXm.so.3 so I installed the openmotif RPM.
Now when I run 'poplog xved' or 'poplog ved' or 'poplog po11' it gives
this error message:
;;; MISHAP - SAVED IMAGE NOT FOUND
;;; INVOLVING: '/usr/local/poplog/current.poplog/pop/lib/psv/startup.psv'
;;;
;;; DOING :
And when I just run 'poplog' it seems to do nothing (well nothing
happens and when I run 'ps -ael' there it's not there).
I have tried creating links to
/usr/local/poplog/current.poplog/pop/lib/psv/startup.psv from
/usr/local/poplog/v15.53d/poplocalbin/startup.psv and
/usr/local/poplog/v15.53d/pop/lib/psv/startup.psv
but then it complians about it not being the same system and version,
so I suppose that don't work it this case.
Also, I seem to remember it complaining about not having permission to
access the x display sometime, but that error no longer occours, so I
don't know what happened to that, because I don't remeber doing
anything to fix that!
Thanks.
Paul.
