Hi David, that is probably the same problem I ran into after installing
Mandrake 7.02. I learnt that it is a problem in the libpng file (it is too
new). You can run abi without a problem if you run
abiword -nosplash
I created a separate link for that, and it works great.
Otherwise you have to 'downgrade' libpng from the RH6.1 disk.
Hope this helps!
Paul
