Congrats! Unfortunately, this solution does not work for me. There are no previous versions of Abiword installed on my test machine, currently just Abiword compiled from source.
Just in case, I removed the compiled version and tried (again) the abiword-1.0.1-Suse.jeo.1.i386.rpm, but this also crashed. I believe this rpm is the Gnome version, and what I was trying to get working was the gtk+ only version. Thanks for forwarding the info, though. David Schutt Speco, Inc.
