My problem is solved. I didn't realise, when building the 64-bit
version, that I still had to have some 32-bit libraries. I discovered
this after I installed the 32-bit version and then tried again to build
the 64-bit one. It succeeded this time.
It might be worth documenting for 64-bit Ubuntu systems that the
following packages have to be installed before installing either 32 or
64 Poplog:
sudo apt instal|l multiarch-support |||libxm4:i386 libxext6:i386
libxt6:i386 libx11-6:i386
The 32-bit build still complains that it can't find those libraries, but
I think that's because the shell script looks in the wrong directories
for Ubuntu.

Waldek,
Thanks for your response to my report of a recent change in Linux support
for poplog:

Good to hear this. However, there was real problem and only
version from July 10 fixed it. I suspect that failures were
because fix was not applied, and with fix things work.
I have a confession to make. I should not run tests while I am half asleep
after fighting a horrible windows 10 rescue package on my laptop:

When I tried pop11 +gblocks I must have accidentally run the old 32bit
version. That's why it worked with xved!
Very sorry about raising false expectations.
When I've caught up with sleep I'll start again, from your latest tar
files, and report back later.
It looks as if the problem Claude Sammut reported is not one I have, which
may be due to differences in versions of linux.
But I'll check later and report back.
