WordPerfect doesn't run

[s-luppescu uchicago edu]

After long hours of futzing with my XF86Config file I've finally gotten my
middle mouse button to work. I must say xf86cfg needs a lot of work still.

The problem now is I can't get WordPerfect to run. I tried the free version,
but the install script goes totally bananas now (it didn't used to), unpacks tar
files to weird places and then can't find where it put them. 

I also have a copy of the full version (I won a copy of Corel Linux and
converted wp from the .deb to .rpm with alien), but that behaves extremely
strangely. When I run it I get this:

 xwp
/usr/bin/xwp: /usr/lib/wp8/wpbin/xwp: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/xwp: /usr/lib/wp8/wpbin/xwp: No such file or directory

The executable is just a little script:

[sl70@musuko:~/.gnupg] <14:58:41> 1064  ->> less `which xwp`
#!/bin/sh
set -a
PATH=/usr/lib/wp8/wpbin:/usr/lib/wp8/shbin10:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
set +a
exec xwp "$@"

And while it complains it can't find the main program, here it is:
[sl70@musuko:~/.gnupg] <14:59:03> 1065  ->> ll /usr/lib/wp8/wpbin/xwp
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root      8161760 Nov  2  1999 /usr/lib/wp8/wpbin/xwp

Or is /usr/lib/wp8/wpbin/xwp failing to find a file?

Thanks in advance.
