I had some problems first with installing it, but it works now. 1) I put the file first in /tmp 2) Then used tar -zxvf filename.gz (to untar-gunzip it.) 3) Then I used ./Runme as 'su' to start the installation- program. 4) wp8 starts by running ./xwp under resulting /wpbin directory. I did all of this under x in xterm-window. The installation program worked while running it as 'root', but the resulting wp8-program didn't. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
