	wp8 works fine with the 2.2 series IME.  Some things to check:

run 'ldd /usr/local/wp8/wpbin/xwp', and see if it reports any 
'not found' libs, particularly libXt.  Also run ldd on libXt.so.6 and see if
that reports anything missing.  If either is indeed missing, check
/etc/ld.so.conf and see if it includes your X libs dir (/usr/X11R6/lib on
redhat and debian boxen, not sure about TurboLinux).  Also try
'LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/libXt.so.6.0 /usr/local/wp8/wpbin/xwp' (adjust paths as
necessary) and see if it starts.

That should get you a little further.  Post results and we'll be able to
tell more.
