http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/abiword/XAbiWord-1.0.1-2.dmg.gz?download The basic problem is that both Hub and I are using 10.2 these days, though maybe Hub has access to 10.1 - but as far as the Cocoa port is concerned, I think 10.2 is the supported target. The 1.0.3 release of XAbiWord was marked as Jaguar because it didn't work on 10.0.4; I wasn't able to test it on 10.1. The mini-distribution I have that allows building 1.1.x is probably Jaguar only, although I don't know of any reason why it couldn't be re-done on 10.1 - again, I have no way to test the result. I'll get around to 1.0.4 (or probably 1.0.5) at some point. The machine I use is kinda buried at the moment. I did the 1.1.x build & dependencies on my iBook and that took nearly 2 whole days - if time is money then I should be charging serious amounts! The website should probably be updated to say 10.2. Ah, yes... Apple's X11 beta requires 10.2.3, I believe. Reason enough to upgrade...
