I don't know why you would need WP for a cobal program but that isn't 
critical.  It is most likely a library issue.  I ran into this with an 
older version of WP for Linux.

If you try to install under FC5 running strace, you may get an idea of 
where the error is occurring.

I would be interested in getting WP running on Linux as I like Reveal 
Codes which isn't in OOo.
