You probably downloaded plugins for 1.0.3. Best idea would be to
upgrade your abiword to 1.0.3 (the latest stable version).
Make sure you get your abiword and plugins from the same location,
either from your distribution or from abisource. Mixing and matching
plugin versions and sources with those of abiword usually doesn't work.
Two solutions are under development that will eventually abolish this
strict dependancy.
I apologize for the inconvenience
