The advice was to install AbiWord by compiling from source . Download the
source tar-ball (1.0.1) and do:
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-libiconv=peer
make
make install
You will need to have autoconf, automake, and libtool installed, however.
(Normally configure is pre-made but we cocked up slightly...)
I'm not sure why this problem should be arising on RH7.0. Martin says
iconv changed between RH7.0 & later RH, and I wouldn't be surprised. I
know, however, that I've never had any problems compiling Abi from source
on RH7.0 so the --with-libiconv=peer may not be necessary...
If you feel like compiling from source, I suggest you try diving make,
i.e. skip the autogen.sh & configure steps and just do:
make prefix=/usr
or, if the problem persists,
make prefix=/usr ABI_REQUIRE_PEER_ICONV=1
Regards, Frank
ps. If any of this works and you want to try a GNOME build, get back in
touch...
