It sounds like you need to install xpm4.7 from the oldlibs section. To verify this, run "ldd /usr/local/lib/wordperfect/wpbin/xwp" (adjust the path to match your installation). If anything is listed as "not found" you'll need to install the relevant package. You can use the search form at <http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages> to determine which package contains the library in question. Here's the output from ldd on my system: adric@glitch[~]$ ldd /usr/local/lib/wordperfect/wpbin/xwp libXt.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXt.so.6 (0x4000d000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libX11.so.6 (0x40050000) libXpm.so.4 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXpm.so.4 (0x400f1000) libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x400ff000) libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x40108000) libSM.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libSM.so.6 (0x401c6000) libICE.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libICE.so.6 (0x401cf000) On Sun, Aug 06, 2000 at 09:58:28AM +0800, Cam Ellison wrote: > I have managed to get WordPerfect installed, but any attempt to start > it gets an error message indicating something like "can't start binary > file". > > On installation, I get two error messages, first that kernel 2.2.16 > (which I now understand is buggy, but haven't had time to replace) "is > not certified", and second that the installer "can't load library > libXpm.so.4".
