Hi Nathan,
          The dns description for abisource has changed recently so that
might why you experienced some problems. That is over now so it
should be alright for now on.

          libabiword is built from the cvs module abi.

You can get it with:

cvs -z3 -q -d :pserver:anoncvs at anoncvs.abisource.com:/cvsroot checkout  abi

I think.

Tnen pass the following parameters to the configure line

configure --prefix/MyPrefix/ --enable-libabiword

then

make install

With make a libabiword and abiword-2.5.pc

Cheers

Martin
