Hello Ann.
Thank you for reporting this.
This is a feature of the new version which provides you with a warning when
a locker that you add does not have a matching version. Add attempts to use
what is believed to be a compatible earlier version, but it provides you
with the warning that it is using compatibility.
I suggest that you report these warnings to the locker owners, who can
provide the additional symlinks or matching versions. For example, I
believe the lockers you mention are missing arch/sun4x_56/bin directories.
They may also be missing sgi_62 and sgi_63 directories.
You can usually find the locker owners in a README file in the lockers, or
use "fs la /mit/locker name" after you add the locker.
As locker owners update the lockers to match the current version, these
warnings will disappear. As you noticed, other lockers are up-to-date and
do not cause a warning.
Thank you
