Re: wordperfect on linux
This segmentation fault problems can at best be attempted by guess-work. This is my guess ... could be wrong ! No harm in giving it a try. I had installed WP8 on my slink box, and thereafter upgraded to potato, package by package WP8 never broke in the transition. Some of my old lib files are still hanging around. I vaguely remember having seen something about glibc version in the WP8 docs I just checked my box. I seem to be having glibc2.1 (viz libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1) from oldlibs also installed. This package contains an additional runtime library for C++ programs built with the gnu/egcs compiler version 1.1.x. I am not quite sure, but this may give a clue.

There are a couple of others from oldlibs besides LibXt.so.6 (ldd xwp will show them). More likely they were a bit behind the times. It depends on the version of WP. WP8.1 or later don't have that problem (although 8.1 still depends on libc5).
