    I did the rpm -U --nodeps and the installation went without a hitch. I
    then called up abiword and got

    /usr/share/AbiSuite/bin/AbiWord_d: error while loading shared libraries:
    libgal.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

    Assuming you meant WHATEVER rather than some other parameter changing to
    su, and entering the command as you stated it, the result:

    linux:/home/dennis # ln -s libgal.so.WHATEVER libgal.so.7
    ln: `libgal.so.7': File exists

    So, I obviously missed an instruction.
