Yes and No. It is quite possible to have both libpng2 and libpng3 installed and have apps use whichever they need. But.... Sometimes it does not seem to work. The simplest solution is to use only apps compiled for libpng3. As it happens there is an Abiword in 8.2/Contribs compiled for libpng3 Check this out http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/mandrake/8.2/contrib/i586/abiword-0.99.1-4mdk.i586.html HTH derek
