WordPerfect 8 under debian
Hi, Is anyone successfully running wp8 under debian unstable or testing. On execuation I get an error, can not find libXpm.so.4 it is unstalled it is there(/usr/X11R6/lib/). If I copy the library to /usr/lib. wp finds it but segfaults. I have the exact same issues with netscape calendar client. Is there issues with debian and backwards compatibility? Who will be best to talk to about this. When I sent in this same question in regards to netscape calendar I got no responses.

Hmm, I think I heard something a while back about Netscape (may WP too) being linked against an old version of libXpm. If you find the correct version, and put it in /usr/lib it might work. Sorry I don't know which version, try searching the archives for libXpm. -D
Re: WordPerfect 8 under debian
Your a gun. I figured out my problem. I onley ever seem tp search packages.debian.org for unstable packages. There is a package with an older libXpm(compiled againes libc5) which, once installed make netscape calendar work without a problem. I would also be thinking wordperfect wll be working now aswell. Thanks for your help it is something that i have been grapling with for about a month nowif only I had have thought to check something other than unstable.

I am running stable, but I had a similar problem. I recall finding something on the Corel web site that described the problem and offered a solution; something about installing the xlib6 package.

Re: WordPerfect 8 under debian
There are two versions of wp8. The original one (including the free downloadable version) requires xpm4.7 from oldlibs (it was built with libc5) instead of xpm4g (both can be installed without conflict, however). Corel Linux Deluxe edition included a full version of WP8.1 in .deb format which was also built with libc5 but does not require libXpm. Sorry, I have no knowledge of netscape calendar, but it could possibly be the same problem.

To install wordperfect, I needed to first install xlib6, libc5 and xpm4.7. (The latter is in stable but not unstable, if I recall correctly.) Dan
