Copying files like this to the system's /lib folder seems
dangerous to me:  I would think adding the /appl/fp/FPFILES
directory to the 'p' startup files:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/appl/fp/FPFILES:$LB_LIBRARY_PATH"

Highest chance of success would be 32bit slackware from 2000's since if memory holds, that is the OS that the dev team seemed to prefer. Also if you set it up as a virtual machine, you will be able to take snapshots and not worry about breaking things and having to start from the beginning along the way.
