Installing AbiWord on HP-UX / PA-RISC

Welcome to the community of AbiWord users!

The current version of AbiWord (0.7.14) should install and run properly on HP-UX release 10.20 or later on PA-RISC systems. (If you want to run abiword on an earlier HP-UX release, you will have to compile it from the source code.)

1. Download the compressed depot: abiword-0.7.14.depot.gz
2. Uncompress the depot with gunzip.
3. As root, run swinstall. Choose "Local Directory" as the Source Depot Type. Enter the location of the depot file into the Source Depot Path. Select the "AbiWord" package, and install it.
4. You need to have xfs running: As root, edit /etc/rc.config.d/xfs and set RUN_X_FONT_SERVER=1
5. Restart xfs: As root, run /sbin/init.d/xfs stop ; /sbin/init.d/xfs start
   Log out of X-windows, then log back in again.
   Note that this step is necessary, even if xfs was already running.
6. Installation is complete. You shouldn't have to go through these steps the next time you install abiword on this system.
   To run AbiWord, type /usr/local/bin/abiword.
