Update from me.
It looks like part of my problem (and specifically the errno problem)
was that I had an older version of poplog around, a /very/ much older
version. I was glad to see that the errno problem had been fixed,
in what looks like just the same way I'dve fixed it ...

Yes. The X libraries are in /usr/lib.

I'm sure I don't. (And I install with nomotif - I note that the
script gives, on failure, messages that suggest you might be missing
the motif libraries even if you've specified nomotif as the option.)

Because the X libraries are in /usr/lib, it should just find them.
Yippee.

What I get on a clean system is a bunch of STACK EMPTY mishaps,
and then an untidy exit.
On the off-chance, I fixed the varargs issue in c_core.c
and rebuilt the library.
Then I did it again, because INSTALL_BHAMetc trashed the update
when it untarred the file ...
[Can I put in a plea for an install script that can be run
in easy stages?]
... but it didn't make any difference.

No, they're still there. (I'm running FC5 at work as well as at home -
having updated my work machine from a creaking RH9 to FC5 and upped
the resolution on my monitor - room! room! - so if I have u.l.m.
here I assume I have it at home.)

I believe so. But I will be trying again this weekend, assuming that
I have the time.

Hang on, I'll just try again ...
`total 0`.
I did a
./INSTALL_BHAM_LINUX_POPLOG nomotif original ~/downloads/poplog nolinks > install.log
and this is what appeared on the terminal:
./CHECK_LINUX_FACILITIES: line 37: cd: /usr/X11R6/lib: No such file or directory
;;; MISHAP - ste: STACK EMPTY (missing argument? missing result?)
;;; FILE : /home/kers/downloads/poplog/v15.6/pop/lib/lib/mkimage.p

ls: /home/kers/downloads/poplog/v15.6/pop/pop/*.psv: No such file or directory
ls: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so*: No such file or directory
I get the same result after
sysctl kernel.randomize_va_space=0
The install log isn't very helpful, but I'll attach it anyway.
Any advice on how to procede would be useful.
