    Mark,

    Thanks for responding to my question.
    Actually, I was aware of

    --nodeps

    but I was not able to decide if this was a mighty card for the problem
    under the following situation:

    [root@localhost AbiWord]# rpm -q abiword-fonts
    package abiword-fonts is not installed
    [root@localhost AbiWord]# rpm -q libgal.so.19
    package libgal.so.19 is not installed

    With both abiword-fonts and libgal.so.19 being not installed, I am still
    not sure whether the installation of AbiWord with --nodeps get me a
    proper function of Abi and whether, to the contrary, the installation
    hurt some part of the dependency in the system.

    I think I need a little more explanation about these points?

    Gilbert
