Amazing omission! mumble mumble mumble <censored>
compiling from scratch is different from installing binaries please be
specific. sounds like you are compiling from scratch.
if you have compiled abiword from source and if i remember correctly there
will be a binary Abiword_s in a directory or subdirectory of obj.
I am not a mind reader exactly which commands did you run, which web page
specifically are you talking about?
There is documentation of the build instructions around somewhere
(...looks around for a bit...)
I look at the download page and i think i can guess. From the download
page it says:
"This may take a few minutes to complete, but should compile and install
AbiWord. For a listing of common (and a couple not-so-common) build
options, see abi/BUILD.TXT."
Sincerely
Alan Horkan
PS why not use the prebuilt binaries?
