Subject:Problem with linux poplog

One of my students has reported this problem with Linux poplog.
Unfortunately I have not yet been able to find out which version of
linux she is using.

She has the latest poplog from
    http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/freepoplog.html

and has installed the Birmingham additions contained in

    http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/popextras.tar

She writes that when she tries to start up Ved she gets the
following:

;;; Warning: can't open shared object /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so
;;; (Inappropriate ioctl for device)
;;; Warning: can't open shared object /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so
;;; (Inappropriate ioctl for device)

I have searched through system sources looking for pop-11 code that
could generate such error messages, but can't find any, so
presumably it's a system error printed out by pop-11 as a result of
an invocation of sys_io_control ?

I've never met this error message.

Any ideas? Could it mean that she is using an incompatible version
of linux?

I could suggest re-linking but don't want to risk corrupting her
poplog system, in case it's something else.
