Hi Ramon,
The src rpm is for the gnome build. You have quite an old distro
so you have no chance with the gnome build.
Your best bet for building a gtk binary is to use our diving makefile
system.
The autoconf stuff has various little issues as it attempts to find all
the libraries and header files in your distro.
I suggest you use the standard abiword diving makefile system.
My suggestion is to:
rm -r all the directories created from untaring the tar file.
Downlaod the source tar file
at: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=15518
Then unpack it with:
tar zxvf abiword-0.9.3.tar.gz
then
cd abi
then
make prefix=/home/msevior/abidir ABI_OPT_DEBUG=1 UNIX_CAN_BUILD_STATIC=0 install
will build everything for you. If you don't want to develop with abi I
strongly suggest you skip version 0.9.3.
Good Luck
Martin
