Abi 1.0.3 will not load images & the spellcheck spouts gobbledy-gook!

    I have recently installed abiword-bidi-1.0.3 Red Hat 7.3 rpm on Mandrake 8.2
    and made a symlink of libpng.so.2 pointing to libpng.so.3 (which cures Rox and
    others of their desire for an older libpng) to stop it moaning about needing
    libpng.so.2. However, it will not load any images of any format, usually
    saying simply 'error loading etc etc' but sometimes claiming that the file is
    'not what it claims to be' (usually .jpg files). There was a recent posting on
    this subject but no useful answer was given. Same applies to the subject of
    spell checker spouting gibberish. Can anyone help me get Abiword running
    properly.

    John

    PS I also tried the 1.0.2 mdk rpm - just the same. Could it be an outdated
    gdk-pixbuf or something?
