 I built 2.6.4 from source yesterday on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron on an
 AMD Opteron 64-bit.

 It does not display non-alphabetic ASCII correctly. The digits and
 punctuation, and also the space character, mostly appear as Unicode
 hex substitution glyphs. Armenian and Arabic display OK. Bengali
 vowels do not attach to base consonants, but are displayed in their
 standalone form. I'm giving up for the day.

   
Thanks for your testing!  Yeah, I saw your bug, that's a weird one!  It
works for me on AMD64 with the packages I had the PPA build.  I've put
some info requests on the bugzilla report - if anyone wants to help
figure this out the link is

Well, today Bengali displays correctly, but Armenian is completely
wiggy. It sometimes appears correctly, sometimes blank, and sometimes
as Devanagari.

 It appears that the 2.6.4 sources aren't configured to build correctly
 on Ubuntu using configure and GNU make.

 ./configure reports

 configure: error: No package 'glib-2.0' found

 (The correct name on Ubuntu is libglib2.0-0)

 Then make says:

 Building AbiSuite with [ABI_ROOT=/home/mokurai/tmp/abiword/abiword-2.6.4]
 make ABI_ROOT=/home/mokurai/tmp/abiword/abiword-2.6.4 -C src
 make[1]: Entering directory `/home/mokurai/tmp/abiword/abiword-2.6.4/src'

 I can't seem to figure out which platform you are using.

 You should probably try using the autoconfiscated build system (rather
 than this, the deprecated and unsupported diving make system) by running
 configure (creating it with autogen.sh if need be) and using GNU Make.
 Using configure is a requirement for all known platforms that
 aren't some form
 of Windows, QNX Neutrino, or MacOS X.

 exit 1
 make[1]: *** [fake-target] Error 1
 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mokurai/tmp/abiword/abiword-2.6.4/src'
 make: *** [compile] Error 2


 Does anybody have a workaround? Would someone like to fix configure to
 work on Ubuntu? Do the makefiles need any change?

 So far I have the old version of Write that Ubuntu offers accepting
 and displaying Cyrillic and Greek correctly. I'll wait until I have
 something up-to-date to test before proceeding to the other 30+
 possibilities.

 Kim, should we create a process for globalization QA? We need testing
 for Amharic, Arabic, Khmer,

   
You might want to look at the Ubuntu instructions on abisource.com to
add the abiword-stable PPA, which will give you packages of a recent
version (2.6.3 right now, I'm very close to putting up 2.6.4) and
furthermore it will let you get source packages (just add the deb-src
line to match) and apt-get build-dep abiword

I will update that page, indicating that the package upgrade for Hardy
was rejected - sorry for the confusion.

No, I see that it is the lack of -dev packages. I am now installing
them one or two at a time. %-[
