    Guess what ? For 10 yrs of UNIX I have been able to install most
    software as a simple users. AbiWord is being one of them. I myself did
    it on a Solaris (I did not want to mess up the system so I did not
    install it while being root).
    BTW, a UNIX system without root user is impossible (but I can believe
    that you don't have root credential yourself).
