Hello, everyone. I, too, am interested in getting involved with AbiWord's
development; I've been lurking on this list for a few weeks, now, reading things and
figuring out how to set up for contribution (including learning introductory CVS,
among other things).
That said, I hope I'm not making a really silly mistake (which I probably am, as
everyone else can build this thing but me). I have the abi, expat, and wv code in
peer directories, and went to the abi directory and ran `make`. I obtained the abi
code by `cvs checkout abi` today. Here's what I got as a result of `make 2>
errors.txt`:

What am I messing up? :-) I was thinking of taking a crack at some of the listed
bugs as a starting point. If anyone else has other things that would be good for me
to try, I'm more than willing.
Thanks - for any help you can provide and for the word processor in general, which I
have enjoyed using (including on my term paper this past semester).
