Hi. I'm running Linux Mandrake 8.2. I'm currently using the KDE desktop. A couple of days ago I downloaded both the GTK and Gnome RPMs for AbiWord 1.0.2 as well as the rpm for AbiWord fonts 1.0.2.
On my first install attempt I used the Gnome RPM and was told to insert the Mandrake installation disk, which I did. It proceeded to install version 0.9.something, Which, even though it appeared on the Gnome menu, simply would not open. I further discovered that having done the "installation" I was no longer able to do any cut or copy and paste to or from Evolution, my email client. So I uninstalled AbiWord and my cut and paste capabilities were restored. Today I tried installing the GTK RPM and got the following error message: "libping.so.2 is needed to install AbiWord1.0.2" So I stopped the installation. I then tried the same thing with the Gnome RPM and got the following error message: "libcrypto.so.2" "libping.so.2" "libssl.so.2 Needed to install AbiWord." Once again I aborted the installation. I'm very new to Linux, so forgive me if the answer should be apparent Any and all advice would be welcome.
