I'm glad they are thinking about Debian, but I was not able to use
their debs. The installation notes say they should work in a Slink
system, but they are linked against shared libraries (e.g. xlibs
4.0.1) that are not in Woody, let alone Potato or Slink. Here was
dpkg's report:
# dpkg -i abiword_0.7.12_i386.deb
(Reading database ... 65563 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace abiword 0.7.12 (using abiword_0.7.12_i386.deb) ...

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of abiword:
abiword depends on libc6 (>= 2.1.97); however:
Version of libc6 on system is 2.1.3-10.
abiword depends on libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2; however:
Package libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 is not installed.
abiword depends on xlibs (>= 4.0.1-1); however:
Package xlibs is not installed.
dpkg: error processing abiword (--install):

I decided to get the sources. Their source download directory only
has versions up to 0.7.11. I found later sources at
http://www.abisource.com/~sam/nightly/, and tried to build them. The
attempt failed like this:
ie_exp_MsWord_97.cpp:
In file included from ie_exp_MsWord_97.cpp:274:
ie_exp_MsWord_97.h:28: exporter/wvexporter.h: No such file or
directory
...
Oh, well - "nightly builds" are not guaranteed to work.
I guess I'll try downloading the statically linked binaries. I wish I
had a faster connection :-).
