Yes, I installed it to /usr/local/ (as root) and it went fine (binary ends up in /usr/local/lib/xwp/wpbin/). My normal user can use it with no special tricks, but I use the following bash function (wp8 apparently needs to start in its binary's directory?): xwp () { pushd /usr/local/lib/xwp/wpbin ./xwp popd } export xwp -- Ed C.
