Peter,

On my Debian system, when I run: 
carrot# apt-cache search xpm4.7
I get: 
xpm4.7 - the X PixMap library, compiled with libc5

Your system should have a similar method of finding out what packages
are available.  E.g., rpm -some_arcane_set_of_options xpm4.7.

I just looked over my notes from when I last had the same problem you
described and noticed that someone suggested I install xpm4g as well.
Someone else (Alan Shutko) said that xlib6 is needed as well as libc5.
>From what I remember, I just ran 'apt-get install xpm4g' and 'apt-get
install xpm4.7' and wp8 then installed without any further problems.

Sorry I can't be more explicit as I have no experience with the rpm-
based distros.  A google search or a visit to wpuniverse.com (or is
it .org?) may be needed if the above is no help.

Hooroo, Doug.
