Well, the problem here is more likely that you don't have libole2 headers
installed... but even if you did, I would recommend you use the version of
wv that come with abiword-1.0.4 since I suspect wv-0.7.4 is not compatible
(I think wv-0.7.2 is, though).

i.e., make sure wv is in the same directory as abi, and abiword's
configure should detect and build wv in the way it thinks best.

Another point: the --with- arguments to configure usually don't expect you
to specify .../include & .../lib (though there are some exceptions to
this, they usually take the form --with-libetc-includes=.../include)

What's more, it's generally a bad idea to use --with-whatever=/usr since
/usr is the default location for stuff.

Why specify "--with-libiconv"? Do you need/have GNU libiconv? Modern linux
distributions have a perfectly good iconv. If unsure, please try without
the "--with-libiconv".

In summary, please try a simple:

# cd abiword-1.0.4
# ls
abi     abidistfiles    psiconv         unixfonts       wv
# cd abi
# ./configure --prefix=/usr
# make
# make install
