Thanks Devin, Frank, and ME. (trimming, but saving previous data for ref here)
ldd /usr/local/wp8/wpbin/xwp gives:
libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6   0x2aaad000
libX11.so.6 =>    (ditto)    /libX11.so.6 0x2aaf7000
ibbXpm.so.4         "        /libXpm.so.4 0x2ab96000
libm.so.5 => not found
libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5               0x2abaa000
libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6   0x2ac81000
libICE.so.6         "       /libICE.so.6  0x2ac8a000
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6               0x2aca2000
/lib/ls-linux.so.1 => lib/ld-linux.so2    0x55555000
then ldd /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 gives:
same as above for libX11.so.6, libSM.so.6, libICE.so.6, libc.so.6, 
lib/ld-linux.so.2.
and I did: less /etc/ld.so.conf, which gave:
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/lib/libc5-compat
/usr/openwin/lib
and I see that /etc.ld.so.cache does list libXt.so.6; and libm.so.5 
without a reference to location (I assume the second part is 
location).
I can't find a libm.so.5 anywhere, but the xwp complaint was about 
libXt.so.6. ???
In the SUSE installation, which works with no problem, I see:
ldd /usr/local/wp8/wpbin/xwp
libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x40007000)
libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x4004f000)
libXpm.so.4 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 (0x400f4000)
libm.so.5 => not found
libc.so.5 => not found
libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x40103000)
libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.67 (0x4010e000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40123000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.1 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x2aaaa000)

Thanks ahead for any further ideas!

Thanks, no cigar!

Yes.

I think so, from the references.

And, thanks to the O'Reilly book, Linux in a Nutshell, for helping me 
on the commands!
