    Hello,
      I'm trying to setup AbiWord to run on my linux system (it was rh6.2.. at
    some point..). I can run the program correctly as root but it refuses to
    execute properly when run as a normal user. This leads me to believe that
    there is a file permission problem somewhere. Root was umask 002 when the
    installation occured.

      The following error messages are displayed:

    [wesdean@up ~][05:52pm] $ abiword

    [wesdean@up ~][05:52pm] $

    I have to continually hit enter (or 'y' then enter) every time I press a
    key in the program. No output is ever displayed.

    However, as I said before, if I run the program as root, it works
    perfectly.

    In addition, I've also chmodded all of the files in /usr/local/share/AbiSuite
    recursively to at least 644 for files and 755 for directories (and executables) but
    that doesn't seem to solve the problem.

    Also, the /usr/local/bin/[Aa]bi* files are all 755 permissions.

    Does anybody know where my permissions may be off? Any suggestions

    Wes
