I haven't used WordPerfect8 from Corel in a while and just discovered that it no longer runs on my Debian/Sid system. I think it is because it requires the previous version of the libc package (woody). I have copied these files (found by ldd on wordperfect executable) form a working Woody system, but libc comes first in the library search.
If I place all the files in /usr/local/lib, then export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib, it picks up all but libc. Here is the present ldd fea::/home/fea/tmp/: ldd /commercial/wordperfect8.0/wpbin/xwp libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x4001e000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x4006f000) libXpm.so.4 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 (0x40136000) libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x40145000) libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x4014e000) libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x4020b000) libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x40214000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4022b000) libdl.so.2 => /usr/local/lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40359000) ld-linux.so.2 => /usr/local/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x4035c000) /commercial/wordperfect8.0/wpbin/xwp: can't resolve symbol '_rtld_global' I would like to set up a wrapper script that sets up these variables temporarily just to run wordperfect.
