If there's been an answer to Daniel's query, I've missed it. I have the same
problem, but on Red Hat 7.1. (I also had it on 7.0.)
I have two computers in my system, both running RedHat 7.1. Abiword runs fine
on one of them; on the other, I get the same error message when I try to open
it.
I'll try to figure something out, but in the meantime, if anyone has an idea,
I would appreciate hearing it. Thanks,
gino
