    The advice was to install AbiWord by compiling from source . Download the
    source tar-ball (1.0.1) and do:

    ./autogen.sh
    ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-libiconv=peer
    make
    make install

    You will need to have autoconf, automake, and libtool installed, however.
    (Normally configure is pre-made but we cocked up slightly...)

    I'm not sure why this problem should be arising on RH7.0. Martin says
    iconv changed between RH7.0 & later RH, and I wouldn't be surprised. I
    know, however, that I've never had any problems compiling Abi from source
    on RH7.0 so the --with-libiconv=peer may not be necessary...

    If you feel like compiling from source, I suggest you try diving make,
    i.e. skip the autogen.sh & configure steps and just do:

    make prefix=/usr

    or, if the problem persists,

    make prefix=/usr ABI_REQUIRE_PEER_ICONV=1

    Regards, Frank

    ps. If any of this works and you want to try a GNOME build, get back in
        touch...
