    Hi,

    I get an error compiling abiword 1.0.6 sources, downloaded 2 days ago,
    under a linux Red Hat 6.2. Error seems to be coming from autogen.sh into
    wv library.
    I followed these steps :
        1. gunzip -c abiword-[...].tar.gz | tar xvf -
        2. cd abiword-[...]/abi
        3.make realclean
        4. ./autogen.sh
        5. ./configure [arguments]
        6. make
        7. su (and become root)
        8. make install

    At the step 5, the process go until the end, but I get in the log an
    error message :
            Running configure in /root/AbiWord/Sources/abiword-1.0.6/wv
            loading cache ./config.cache
            checking for Cygwin environment... no
            checking for mingw32 environment... no
            checking for executable suffix... configure: error: installation or
    configuration problem: compiler cannot create executables. <= error ??!!
            updating cache ./config.cache
            creating ./config.status

    At the step 6, I get a fatal error :
            make -C /root/AbiWord/Sources/abiword-1.0.6/wv BUILD_FOR_ABIWORD=1
            make[1]: Entering directory `/root/AbiWord/Sources/abiword-1.0.6/wv'
            make[1]: *** No targets. Stop.
            make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/AbiWord/Sources/abiword-1.0.6/wv'
            make: *** [wv] Error 2

      Some comment in README let me think about automake or autogen bad
    version during the wv parsing... but I'm ok according to the abi/BUILD
    file. This is my system configuration :
            RedHat 6.2 under i686
            Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95/specs
            gcc version 2.95 19990728 (release)
            GNU Make version 3.77, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.
            Autoconf version 2.13
            automake (GNU automake) 1.4
            GNU m4 1.4
            GTK package installed :
                    gtk+-1.2.5-2
                    gtk+-devel-1.2.5-2
                    gtk+10-1.0.6-6
                    gtk-engines-0.7-1

    Does anyone have any idea ??

    Thanks in advance.
    Gill
