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
