I just can't get AbiWord going on an alpha (21164) (GNU/Linux RedHat 6.2)
I downloaded, and it all looks good, with all files in place -- until I try to
start abiword.
Then total silence rewards my efforts. I just didn't go further into it since
I had to
finish a paper, and LaTeX does all I needed. But I'm missing a word-processor,
especially for all these wicked MS-Wrd files I get sent from MS'ed colleagues..
I'm sure it's a trivial problem, but they are often the hardest to see...
