Are you properly subscribed to the user mailing list? I am sending this
message directly to the list and also including a Carbon Copy to you
directly to insure you get the message. The list manager may have let
your previous message through but unless you are subscribed to the list
you may not have seen the replies.

When reporting problems it is very important to tell us what exactly the
error messages were.
Other have suggested you make sure that you have all the necessary files
installed, on Windows there is a chance that you might be missing glib
which although optional in some cases is very much required for the
wordperfect plugin.
As for SuSe, I believe the best advice would be to make sure you have the
most up todate version available (I think others have already recently
posted advice to that effect and a quick search of the mailing list
archives should turn up the information you need).

Thanks for choosing Abiword.
