Hi,
I nearly fell of my chair earlier when I compiled a Gnome version of
Abiword and clicked print and was greeted by the beautiful gnome-print
dialog a la gnumeric!
But, oddly enough, I have no idea how I got it to compile that first
time. Because subsequent compiles have revealed this problem:

In short, it would appear that Abiword has borrowed code from other
sources in a couple of places. Notably, xap_UnixPSParseAFM.c has borrowed
parseAFM.c from Adobe (as has, apparently, gnome-print) ... and SAX.c from
libxml has namespace issues with libxml.
For xap_UnixPSParseAFM.c I can make this go away and just link to
gnome-print's version (or should I rename? Advice?). Could someone
resolve the namespace problems within wv for me?
... as I type this email and think about it, perhaps this is not
necessary. Can I solve this by clever linking? ...
Hitting namespace walls,
John
PS. In order to compile in gnome-print I had to make minor modifications
to the gnome-print source so that gnome-print was cpp happy. I've sent
this patch to Raph and crew, but if anyone else is playing with
gnome-print I've attached it ...
