Wordperfect8 missing libXpm.so.4

[Doug Hespe <hespe@acay.com.au>]

Hi,

I'm having trouble reinstalling Wordperfect8 on a Potato system.
It was running fine a couple of months ago after I installed libc5
and xlib6 but it is now complaining 
	/usr/local/wp8/wpbin/xwp: can't load library 'libXpm.so.4'
When I try 
	~#locate libXpm.so.4
I get
	/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4
	/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4.11

All this trouble started when I tried Progeny-- it worked alright
but I could not get the Xwindow to look the way it should.  Now,
after reinstalling Potato and apt-get upgrading, Wordperfect8 can't
see a needed library file.  After trying
	~# ldd /usr/local/wp8/wpbin/xwp
it gave
         libXt.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXt.so.6 (0x4000c000)
         libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libX11.so.6 (0x4004f000)
         libXpm.so.4 => not found
         libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x400f1000)
         libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x400fa000)
         libSM.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libSM.so.6 (0x401b8000)
         libICE.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libICE.so.6 (0x401c1000)
so, following the pattern, I tried
	~# ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 /lib/libXpm.so.4
which gave a segfault instead of a can't load message when I attempted
to run wordperfect8.

If any of you can help, I shall be most grateful.

TIA, Doug.
