Hello,

AbiWord's RedHat 8.0 RPMS compiled by me are at Savannah:
   http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/abiword/1.1.3/redhat/8.0/

This is a more complete addendum:

  AbiWord requires the fribidi package.
  RedHat doesn't distribute fribidi, so you may have to download and instal=
l it.

  You need:
   - libfribidi0-0.10.4-0         <--- to run abiword
   - libfribidi0-devel-0.10.4-0   <--- to compile abiword

You can download these rpms from here:

ABOUT

  These rpms are built against libraries contained in RedHat's GNU/Linux
  8.0 CDs. This means support for GTK+2 2.0.x and font antialiasing.
  There's little likelihood that it may work on older RedHat releases unles=
s
  you recompile the source rpm with: rpm --rebuild abiword-1.1.3-1.src.rpm

PLUGINS

  The plugins are now collected in two packages:
    - extra import/export
    - extra tools

  In future releases, plugins that won't build with default RedHat
  packages will be here, but you may need to install 3rd party packages to
  run them or to build them.

REQUIRED:

  You should just need to grab one and only abiword-1.1.3-1.i386.rpm or
  abiword-1.1.3-1.i686.rpm

  But these will give extra flavours to the juice:

  abiword-clipart        (ooo pictures!)
  abiword-plugins-impexp (extra document import/export plugins)
  abiword-plugins-tools  (extra plugins providing some tools)

  abiword-fonts          (older set of fonts, not really needed with this b=
uild)
  abiword-embeddable     (I don't think this really works again, your choic=
e)

EXTRA

SOURCE

  Get the src.rpm in the SRPMS dir.

PACKAGE SIGNATURES

  Even though I sign my keys with gpg key ID:

pub  1024D/7A34FADE 2000-09-12 Rui Miguel Silva Seabra <rms@1407.org>
             Fingerprint: EF9A 6735 05D7 91C1 A107  379F A3E0 B9D2 7A34 FAD=
E

... you may decide to trust only enough to check for file corruption.
You can do that with rpm --checksig file.rpm (although it may complain abou=
t
missing gpg keys) or sha1sum file.rpm and compare with the following list:
