Brendan ......

It sounds like you don't have current directory set in the search path like
this
(example only )

/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin::/bin:/usr/bin:.:

notice the bit " .: " on the end.... if that is not added to your PATH
environment then
when you try to execute a program in the CURRENT directory...( which is
normal
NOT to have, particularly as a root environment as it  is safer) then unless
you are actually
in a directory that is present in the search path the effectively that
program doesn't exist.

So when you try to execute a program in the current directory that is NOT in
your
search path then you must prepend it with " ./ " to force current
directory...
so try
            ./xwp
in the wpbin dir OR put in the full path ( as would be set in X windows )
eg
/usr/local/wp8/wpbin/xwp

that should work  :)
