That sounds like the problem (with _binary_ library path) that I've
mentioned.  To see the actual message, I used "vile -D" (which captures
stuff into the [Trace] buffer), and was able also to see the message.
In my case, I was invoking vile directly on a file to color, so it
wasn't convenient to tinker with the popup-msgs setting.  You could also
run vile and then

        :set popup-msgs
        :e whatever-your-filename-is

(offhand, the only 32-bit Redhat I have is for Fedora 5 - rather old - 
though I have a mix of other 32-bit machines).
