Re: trouble installing abiword on web host

Thanks for the replies.

I've now tried to install abiword from source it failed saying I needed
to install pkg-config. When I tried to install pkg-config, it failed
because of insufficient privileges. I have asked my host if they will
install it for me, but haven't heard back from them. Is this something
I am doing incorrectly, or is it simply a matter of the missing
pkg-config? Should I be able to run abiword on my web host without root
access?

Ryan, sorry for sending the empty reply.

Thanks,
Scott
