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)
