    RedHat could have made fribidi available more like the rpms at fribidi's
    website, which are libfribidi and libfribidi-devel.

    Instead, they chose to make it only fribidi.

    You can easily install the src.rpm, and then change abiword.spec to
    reflect this different requirement!

    after that, rpmbuild -ba ..../abiword.spec
