One thing which may be relevant. You wrote that you are
installing on new system. Before installing Poplog you
need to install dependencies needed by Poplog.
get_and_build_poplog.sh does _not_ install dependecies
and you will get build failure if something essential is
missing. Do to way build works error message may be in
the middle of many progress messages, so it is easy to miss
it.
Anyway, from INSTALL:
: To build Poplog you need basic build tools like 'gcc' and 'make'.
: To get full functionality you should install developement versions
: of X libraries, Motif and ncurses. For popvison install 'lapack'.
: On Debian (or Ubuntu) you probably need: libx11-dev, libxt-dev,
: libice-dev, libsm-dev, libxau-dev, libxdmcp-dev, libxpm-dev,
: libmotif-dev, libncurses-dev, libopenblas-base, liblapacke.
Names of packeges depend on Linux distribution that you use.
IIUC Mint is like Debian here, Fedora-like distributions
instead of '-dev' have '-devel'.
