Greetings! I have a bit of a problem with AbiWord 0.9.5: I compiled it from source (with make UNIX_CAN_BUILD_STATIC=0 ; make install). I tried to open the file with my book: "it appears to be a bogus or invalid document". 'Kay... I'd originally created this document with 0.7.x (don't recall the minor number) and edited it (by-and-large) with 0.9.4.1. I had it open a little while in a version of 0.7.14 (the version that comes on the SlackWare 8 CD), but I don't remember if I saved it.
So I opened another file, created and edited only in 0.9.4.1. "Bogus or invalid document". Rrr. Then I opened one of the files in abi/docs, which I would assume are valid documents. "Bogus or invalid document". Aaagh. This happens with both the dynamic- and the static-linked versions of AbiSuite 0.9.5. I'm using Linux 2.4.5 and SlackWare 8 from the CD. I de-installed AbiSuite 0.7.14 that comes with SlackWare 8 and compiled 0.9.5 from source with --prefix=/opt/gnome. I can provide a copy of the onerous document (my book, on the proviso that you not critique it :) and the output from an executable compiled with --enable-debug. TIA for any help or advice on resolving this--lest an agent should call tomorrow wanting to represent my book and I can't provide it! :) And I don't want to switch to another package like KWord (still not quite cooked yet, that one) or StarOffice (bring a lunch)--I've become too addicted to AbiWord features like real-time word counts (very useful when you set a word-count goal for yourself: "I will write 500 words this morning...") and more-or-less consistent pagination across zoom levels (AbiWord is consistent with printout pagination at least, while KWord doesn't seem to be). -- Cheers, William Richard [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
