    Hi. I'm running Linux Mandrake 8.2. I'm currently using the KDE desktop.

    A couple of days ago I downloaded both the GTK and Gnome RPMs for
    AbiWord 1.0.2 as well as the rpm for AbiWord fonts 1.0.2.

    On my first install attempt I used the Gnome RPM and was told to insert
    the Mandrake installation disk, which I did. It proceeded to install
    version 0.9.something, Which, even though it appeared on the Gnome menu,
    simply would not open. I further discovered that having done the
    "installation" I was no longer able to do any cut or copy and paste to
    or from Evolution, my email client. So I uninstalled AbiWord and my cut
    and paste capabilities were restored.

    Today I tried installing the GTK RPM and got the following error
    message:
    "libping.so.2 is needed to install AbiWord1.0.2" So I stopped the
    installation.

    I then tried the same thing with the Gnome RPM and got the following
    error message:
    "libcrypto.so.2"
    "libping.so.2"
    "libssl.so.2 Needed to install AbiWord."

    Once again I aborted the installation.

    I'm very new to Linux, so forgive me if the answer should be apparent

    Any and all advice would be welcome. TIA

    Langsley
