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?
