Try running "ldd /usr/local/wordperfect/wpbin/xwp" or wherever your WP
executable is. You will then a list of all libraries, with the missing ones
identified.

Here is mine: (I have all these libraries)
	libXt.so.6 => /usr/i486-linuxlibc1/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x40013000)
	libX11.so.6 => /usr/i486-linuxlibc1/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x40056000)
	libXpm.so.4 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXpm.so.4 (0x400f7000)
	libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x40105000)
	libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x4010e000)
	libSM.so.6 => /usr/i486-linuxlibc1/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x401cc000)
	libICE.so.6 => /usr/i486-linuxlibc1/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x401d5000)

I have a note to myself that I had to install the package xlib6 to make Wp
work for me.
