If you upgraded, you probably (or at least MAY have) had libc5 on the
system already. It was an option in 6.2 that has been dropped in 7.0.
go to the <...>/wpbin directory and do a
ldd xwp
and it should show something akin to:
libXt.so.6 => /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x4000e000)
libX11.so.6 => /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x4004c000)
libXpm.so.4 => /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libXpm.so.4 (0x400de000)
libm.so.5 => /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libm.so.5 (0x400ec000)
libc.so.5 => /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libc.so.5 (0x400f4000)
libSM.so.6 => /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x401bd000)
libICE.so.6 => /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x401c5000)
