Subject: Re: Installing abiword-0.9.4.1-1 in RH7.1 & dependencies

I ended up with ximian everything except abiword itself. For abiword, I
used the Redhat 7.1 version not marked as ximian because the ximian version
wanted libgal.so.13 even though I had 14 installed. Once I put the fots dir
into the config file using chkfontpath, abiword started without complaint.
I haven't yet used the new version since I installed it yesterday, so
I don't know whether yet another problem exists. I just hope that Redhat
7.1 version cooperates with the Redhat 7.2/ximian version libraries. Thanks
for your help.
