    Hi,

    After the crashing problems I had last week with 1.0.2, I decided that I
    would download the source and build it with debugging turned on so that I
    could get more info on any future crashes.

    I downloaded 1.0.3 to my RH8.0 system and ran

    # ./configure --enable-debug
    # make

    which all worked OK. I decided that I didn't want to overwrite my current
    installation in case I had messed something up. I wanted to run abiword
    where I had built it. I found AbiWord_d in
    $(HOME)/abiword-1.0.3/abi/src/wp/main/unix and ran that but it didn't work
    so then I took the wrapper file, /usr/bin/AbiWord, copied it to
    $(HOME)/abiword-1.0.3 and edited it so that

    ABISUITE_HOME=$(HOME)/abiword-1.0.3
    ABISUITE_LIBEXEC=$(HOME)/abiword-1.0.3/abi/src/wp/main/unix
    ABISUITE_FONT_HOME=/usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts

    and ran $(HOME)/abiword-1.0.3/AbiWord but this didn't work either. I got
    messages saying that $(HOME)/abiword-1.0.3/fonts/<something>/fonts.dir
    couldn't be opened.

    What is the correct way to do this?

    Steve.
