I do not have the dl version but I have installed and use WP8 from their retail CD.
To do either with 8.2 you need to install ld.so1-1.9.11-9mdk.
This is not on your CDs but you can dl it from the 8.2 contrib directory or the Cooker
contrib directory.
But with the error you are receiving you may also have another problem.
Have you double checked the path for xwp and verified that it is in fact
/usr/local/wordperfect/wpbin/xwp?
Using a file mgr go to that directory and either by double click or command try
launching Using the file mgr (not a terminal or shortcut), unless you have already
installed ld.so1, you should get a segfault error.
If you still get a path error then the problem is your WP installation
and your best bet would be to run the uninstall script and after installing ld.so1
reinstall WP8.
