Can anyone help me with some Abiword issues I am having? I tried to install abiword-x11 and long list of error messages. Can be viewed at http://www.nabble.com/abiword-x11-issues- to14518635.html#a14518635
There is an issue filed about problems installing abiword-x11 on Leopard (I assumed you're on Leopard since your output mentioned "i686-apple-darwin9-g++-4.0.1" and Leopard is Darwin 9): http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/13214 Not sure if that's the same issue you're experiencing. Unfortunately the abiword-x11 port is unmaintained so the problem won't get fixed until someone steps up to figure out what the problem is.
After that I tried installing the other abiword package, version 2.4.5_0 and it says it installed. The problem I am having now is I can not start the program. When I open a xterm window and type abiword I get the error message: bash: abiword: command not found. Am I doing anything wrong? Help help would be looked upon kindly with any version of abiword.
Try typing the full path to the executable, presumably /opt/local/bin/ abiword. Your xterm may not be using the same PATH as your Mac OS X Terminal.
