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.
I typed /opt/local/bin/abiword and got the return of bash: /opt/ local/bin/abiword: No such file or directory. This happened both in xterm and in the Terminal.
Then I guess that's not what it installs. Type "port contents abiword- x11" to discover what it does install and where.
