Thi sis a linking problem that Mandrake users typically get. You need to install the the Xfree-devel packages I think. BTW if you get an error like that during the compile it means that AbiWord did not build properly. As a general rule grab all the *-devel packages to do t=with gtk anf gnome and Xfree Cheers MArtin PS. I sympathsize with trying to compile on Mandrake. It may be a nice desktop but it is pain to develop for. PPS. An easier solution might be to place a bug somewhere in the Mandrake system - AbiWord not provided. It's avaliable on RedHat why not Mandrake? > John > > ------------------------------------------------------------- > From F J Franklin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on Sun, 3 Nov 2002 11:59:11 > +0000 (GMT): > > On Sat, 2 Nov 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > Thanks for your advice on this one, and that from the other folk.
