I wonder if this is of any help: You can simply install it from source and it works. Here is what i did under Lucid Lynx:
apt-get source abiword cd abiword-2.8.2 (... install the necessary dev-files ...) ./configure make (... wait ...) sudo make install cd /usr/lib sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libabiword-2.8.so /usr/local/bin/abiword Now click for help or press F1, and you get help. No freeze, no problem. -- Abiword 2.8.1 freezes with document lost when help is clicked or F1 is pressed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/519541 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Registry Administrators, which is the registrant for AbiWord. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~registry Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~registry More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
