    Hello,

    I found your names as maintainers of the fribidi RPM from rawhide.
    This message is CCed to the abiword developers list to keep them
    updated.

    I am trying to install abiword 2.0 for Gtk (no Gnome) from rawhide,
    which requires fribidi, also from rawhide. I refer to the packages
    pointed from here

    http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/rawhide/1.0/i386/RedHat/RPMS/abiword-2.0.0-3.i386.html
    http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/rawhide/1.0/i386/RedHat/RPMS/fribidi-0.10.4-4.i386.html

    If I install fribidi, the abiword RPM doesn't install because says
    libfribidi0.so is missing.

    Searching for that string on rpmfind.net says that that library is
    provided only by the Mandrake RPMs of the same version of fribidi. If
    I install the source RPM from the Red Hat server and build from that,
    nothing changes, even if I add %{_libdir}/libfribidi0*.so* to the spec
    file.

    Actually the build crashes, because there is no file with that name
    created. Even worst, that string is not present in no source file out
    of the tarball.

    Yes, I could try to grab the Mandrake source RPM and rebuild from
    that, but wanted to inform you and get any possible feedback first.

    TIA for any comment,

            Marco Fioretti
