-snip of Larry's and Happy House's analysis of Abiword install problems on
RH 7.x-
Just an aside as a RH user who has been frustrated by the latest Abiword.
As devoted as I am to Abiword, I am a bit put off by the nest of
dependencies that the latest install is mired in. It becomes a scavenger
hunt, and as others have noted, things break while one tries to fix this
one app.
I understand that Linux is not Abiword's only platform, and that RH !=
Linux, but it seems to me that this is still an important enough platform
that we could expect better integration.
BTW, I'm not a fan of Ximian (if I wanted the Windoze look-n-feel, I'd get
Windows), so I'm a bit put off by the "install Ximian and all your problems
will go away" directive. Nevertheless, I did (install Ximian) on one box,
and it didn't (solve any Abiword problems).
I certainly hope that by 1.0 you'll have a more forgiving and robust
installation procedure. I can't dedicate my machines -- or my time -- to
getting Abiword just right. Pity -- it's a cool WP.

I'm rather jubilant now. What Judge Kaplan did was
blow away every one of these brittle and fragile rebuttals.
He threw out fair use; he threw out reverse engineering;
he threw out linking.
