    Hi Joe,
            Unfortunately you've run into a backward compatibility
    problem. AbiWord makes extensive use of a library called iconv. This is a
    part of the glibc library which is fundamental to running programs on
    Linux. Some time after redhat 7.0 was released the maintainers of iconv
    changed its programming interface. So unfortunately AbiWord 1.0.1 won't
    run correctly on a redhat 7.0 distribution unless someone makes a static
    binary.

    Since no one seems interested in doing this, your only other option is to
    upgrade to a later redhat.

    Sorry,

    Martin
