Amazing omission! mumble mumble mumble <censored>
compiling from scratch is different from installing binaries please be specific. sounds like you are compiling from scratch. if you have compiled abiword from source and if i remember correctly there will be a binary Abiword_s in a directory or subdirectory of obj. I am not a mind reader exactly which commands did you run, which web page specifically are you talking about? There is documentation of the build instructions around somewhere (...looks around for a bit...) I look at the download page and i think i can guess. From the download page it says: "This may take a few minutes to complete, but should compile and install AbiWord. For a listing of common (and a couple not-so-common) build options, see abi/BUILD.TXT." Sincerely Alan Horkan PS why not use the prebuilt binaries?
