    My question (detailed and explained below is: Where am I supposed to
    locate this "fribidi" directory and should it just be unpacked or
    compiled? 

    ---

    I'm running OS X 10.2.6 with Developer Tools 12-02 installed on a 
tibook 667 with plenty of RAM. I downloaded the abicocoa sources per 
the following instructions without problem:

    -----------------------------------------------------

    Tonight I'm playing with abiword for os X again. For those willing to 
try it ou, do has follow :

    Open Terminal
Create a news dir called abi ( mkdir abi )
go into the directory ( cd abi )
setenv CVSROOT :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.abisource.com:/cvsroot
cvs login
answer anoncvs
cvs co abicocoa

    this will take some time a README file should be downloaded read it and 
then have fun compiling.

    --------------------------------------------------

    The problem began with the readme of the abicocoa sources.  It needs 
fribidi to be unpacked in a particular directory, but it doesn't 
clearly specify which.  Here's the pertinent part of the readme:

    ------------------------------------------------------
"This directory contains Apple ProjectBuilder projects
to build wv, libpng and fribidi as MacOS X frameworks. These
libraries are required by AbiWord.

    If you have gotten this source from CVS by checking out the CVS module
abicocoa, then you have almost everything that is need to build.
It needs the fribidi source which should be unpacked in the "fribidi"
directory in that directory. <http://fribidi.sf.net/>
It also needs fink <http://fink.sf.net/> with glib2 and libiconv 
installed.
(any other installation can be fine, but you'll have to tweak the 
projects as
they currently rely on fink)

    Otherwise, you need to untar the source in that directory as a peer of
the project directories."...

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
My question is where am I supposed to locate this "fribidi" directory 
and should it just be unpacked or compiled?

    Thanks in advance
