This probably will require either EPEL or someone on this list who can generate a working binary. A naive rpmbuild --rebuild yields:

and when I start with the first failed dependency:

Error: Nothing to do

Hopefully, someone will have both the time (and required effort) to build abiword (more or less current) and to be able to release either a consistent and ready to build set of rpm.src files for SL7, etc., or a built binary RPM along with whatever other built RPMs are required again for SL7. As it appears that there are business restrictions that prevent Owlriver from offering any such binaries, I hope that someone else may -- or EPEL will come through in short order. (I was under the impression that a business could offer executable software without cost for download provided the usual "disclaim all" was part of the download and use "license".) abiword is available for
 ubuntu http://abiword.en.uptodown.com/ubuntu/download
(not to claim that Ubuntu LTS is somehow better than SL) from at least one site on the web .
