I have been upgrading abiword everytime a newer version came out since 0.74. I always use the GTK version, and has never had a major problem with dependencies. Minor ones, yes, + that font can't load error. But all can be solved in less than 30 minutes. Maybe I am just lucky, but I'd suggest to use the GTk version if you're not sure about your system (as they said in the website). BTW, I use Redhat (was 7.0, 7.1, and just upgraded now to 7.2).
