Unfortunately, I have exactly (I think) the same problem as Antonis
did, but for me using tcsh doesn't help.  And I'm not using GenToo
-- just RedHat (7.0)!

The install.log looks almost identical to the one Antonis included
originally, so I won't duplicate it.  However, here is the std_error
output on the console:

[pete@Lys POPLOG]# ./INSTALL_EVERYTHING_WITH_MOTIF >pop_install.log
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXt
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
ls: newpop11: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXt
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

;;; MISHAP - POPLINK: ERRORS IN LINKING (see above)
*** Error - failed to link newpop11
[pete@Lys POPLOG]#

Now, I do have libXt.so in /usr/X11R6/lib -- where it should be as
far as I know, but I guess something is missing somewhere.  (I did
install motif from the RPM included in the poplog tar file.  This is
the latest one btw -- 15.53, I guess.)

[Actually, I correct myself -- I have libXt.so.6 in .../lib.  There
is no link from an unnumnered filename.  I don't think this should be
a problem -- the system was built from RPM this way, so I imagine
it's correct.]

My suspicion is that there is some path somewhere not set properly,
but I don't know where to look.  This machine was just reloaded from
scratch from the RedHat 7.0 CDs.

Any help appreciated.
