Runs fine here > tho. Strictly a guess (I just downloaded and heven't tried to install yet), but WP needs libc5 (from what I read so far). If he only had libc6 installed then he'd have a problem. By the way - is there an install package (like for Netscape), or should I just install into /user/local. Also, assuming no install package (obviously I haven't checked yet), does anyone know what packages I need for the requisite libc5 support?
