Thanks guys for your suggestions.
Being a newcomer to all things Linux (about 2 weeks) I need to take the
simplist approach to any problem.
So I started with Diego's suggestion and downloaded the Mandrake
abisuite rpm. The rpm complained with a message about "libstdc++-libc
6.1-2.so.3". I ignored this, but AbiWord did not run, so I unistalled.
Next I took Colin's advise & tried to download the static tar, but the
link on the abisource site does not appear to work. However I will try
this again later.
Finally I took Mike's advice and downloaded the Helix rpm for RH7. When
run, this asked for "libgnomeprint6" which I duely downloaded. But when
I run this rpm I get a conflict between "libgnomeprint.so.6.3.1" and
"gnome-print-0.20-8". With my lack of experience I'm reluctant to delete
a file/package without a better understanding of what's going on.
Any further suggestions would be gratefully received. My wife suggests I
up-grade this old pc so I can get StarOffice running at a reasonable
speed and forget about AbiWord! (..beginning to sound like a good idea).
