    Thi sis a linking problem that Mandrake users typically get. You need to
    install the the Xfree-devel packages I think. BTW if you get an error
    like that during the compile it means that AbiWord did not build
    properly.

    As a general rule grab all the *-devel packages to do t=with gtk anf
    gnome and Xfree

    PS. I sympathsize with trying to compile on Mandrake. It may be a nice
    desktop but it is pain to develop for.

    PPS. An easier solution might be to place a bug somewhere in the
    Mandrake system - AbiWord not provided. It's avaliable on RedHat why not
    Mandrake?
