Look - you ARE right, Dom ... but ... Would it be impossible to package the libgal you need within Abiword? I guess the other question is where is Abiword getting its instruction to look for a specific version of libgal (rather than libgal.so.*)? Is there really nothing the Abiword developers can do to avoid the nuisance? I stopped trying to use Abiword because of the persistent libgal.so.(specific number) problem. Hmmm ... I am using KDE/FreeBSD now. Would Abiword install and work flawlessly in that environment? -- Regards, Brian ----------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
