I have 6.2 & abisuite-0.7.12-1 installed (rpm). Methinks it's because I
installed & upgraded helix gnome (though I don't actually _USE_ gnome,
just have it installed for some dependencies). That plus some separate
upgrades of some of the same components that weren't/aren't in the helix
gnome releases, but are of the same genre (i.e. xml/libxml, etc).
Sorry I can't be specific about what precisely makes it work here. But, I
think that the helix stuff is tha answer to the problem.
