This follows up my mentioning that one Henry in Hong Kong had
reported succeeding in installing the gtk+ (not gnome) version of
abiword-0.9.4.1-1 in Red Hat. I've now done the same. The installation
was totally routine. So, the note on the AbiSource web site that says
gtk+ has fewer dependency problems is right.
The first try or six to run abiword when in the /usr/bin directory
failed: the abiword window came up only to be obscured by an error
message saying the Times Roman couldn't be got plus a few tips on how to
get round the error. I didn't manage to use the specific tips to solve
the problem - no fonts - but took the broad hint to check the AbiSource
site again. Clicking around that after
/usr/sbin/chkfontpath -a /usr/share/AbiSource/fonts
gave
chkfontpath: error opening
/etc/X11/AbiSuite/fonts - for writing
After I added
/usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts
to /etc/X11/fs/config
abiword opened fine from /usr/bin and it works, so far although the help
file
/usr/share/AbiSuite/AbiWord/help/en-GB/contents.html
seems to be missing from my download (which came from USA, not GB.)
Hope that helps.
