    I am trying to build AbiWord 1.1.0 to play with the refined export to
    DocBook. However, I am having trouble during the build. I downloaded
    abiword-1.1.0-2.tar.gz, ran make and then make install_redhat.

    Both seemed to go fine, but at the end of make install_redhat, I
    received the following error:

    make[4]: Leaving directory
    `/home/tpibil/Downloads/abiword-1.1.0/abi/src/af/ev/xp'
    make[3]: *** [build] Error 2
    make[3]: Leaving directory
    `/home/tpibil/Downloads/abiword-1.1.0/abi/src/af/ev'
    make[2]: *** [build] Error 2
    make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/tpibil/Downloads/abiword-1.1.0/abi/src/af'
    make[1]: *** [build] Error 2
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tpibil/Downloads/abiword-1.1.0/abi/src'
    make: *** [install_redhat] Error 2

    Since it seemed to be related to leaving a directory I did not think it
    was that big of a deal.

    I then ran ./configure. It goes for a while but ends after the following:

    configure: error: * * * unable to find fribidi-config in path! * * *

    I am not sure if it was going to end here or not. In any event, I ran
    AbiWord and it still says it is AbiWord 1.0.3.

    What am I doing wrong? Do I need to download fribidi? I am running on
    RH 7.3.

    Thanks in advance and sorry about the long e-mail.

    Ted
