The plugins weren't listed on abiwords webpage, but if you checked the mirrors
directly, they were there.
The version from cooker is compiled against another ImageMagick version, it
needs version 5.5.4.

Such a problem is the reason to not just mix packages for a specific
distribution.
I could try to make an rpm for Mandrake 9.0, but I don't have much resources
(diskspace) now, and I'm not gonna promise anything.

Ah, a thesaurus is a database of synonyms... I didn't even know what it was. I
hardly use the plugins, just the basic features.
