I had no problems, and I used the WP install script(s) as I recall. First,
I suggest that you install in /usr/local/wp. Then, /usr/local/wp/bin (or
whatever the bin directory is) must be in your path. In order to run wp,
you need the libc5 runtime libraries. I already have these installed
because I use Maple VR4 for Linux as well. With the proper libc5 support
installed you should have no major problems.

Thanks. Syrus.
