Subject:Quick external problem?

Hi,

I'm trying to load a shared object file in poplog using the following 
syntax..

external load example;
         'file.so'
endexternal;


When I compile the file in XEMACS I get the following message

: ;;; Compiling buffer file.p
;;; Warning: can't open shared object ./file.so (Inappropriate ioctl for
;;; 	device)

When I compile the same file in XVed I get a slightly different error..

;;; Warning: can't open shared object ./file.so (Success)

The both fail to find values for all symbols and then give...

;;; MISHAP - ERRORS ACCESSING EXTERNAL SYMBOLS (see above)
;;; FILE     :  /home/mhl/SIM_AGENT/external/file.p   LINE NUMBER:  432
;;; DOING    :  external_do_load exload_do_batch_load external runproc

file.p and file.so are in the same directory and the permissions are 
fine for file.so. I'd like to understand what this error message means? 
Does anybody know a possible reason?

Thanks
