I presume you were using this file
http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/linux-cd/Suse-Readme.txt

That looks OK
ll /lib/libterm*

That also looks OK.
I don't know anything about SuSE. Is it possible that you have to set
this environment variable?
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
If you've had some sort of crash maybe you have to reinstall libtermcap,
in case the file has been corrupted?
Does this command run without error:
/usr/local/poplog/v15.53a/pop/pop/basepop11
If so, edit the file
INSTALL_MOTIF_POPLOG
to omit these lines:
##### START of bit that may not work on Mandrake and some other systems
### Comment out the next few commands (up to ##### END) if you are
### running mandrake and installation does not work
echo "relinking -- using $popsys/poplink_cmnd"
cd $popsys
./poplink_cmnd
echo "checking for newpop11"
ls -l newpop11
if ( -f newpop11 ) then
echo "copying newpop11 to basepop11"
cp newpop11 basepop11
rm newpop11
else
echo "COULD NOT LINK NEWPOP11:"
echo "Try commenting out poplink_cmnd"
echo "OR"
echo "Try asking for help via comp.lang.pop or pop-forum AT cs.bham.ac.uk"
exit
endif
##### END of bit that may not work on Mandrake
if that does not work, maybe someone else with more specific knowledge
will be able to help.
