Re: No package 'abiword-2.8' found

I still got the same error... I thought it was because the configure
script was looking for 2.8 but the installed files where 2.9, so I
renamed all the abiword files in /usrc/local/lib to "2.8".

And then the pyabiword compilation succeded!

But when I tried to run the Advanced example, I got
"""ImportError: libabiword-2.7.so: não é possível abrir objecto
partilhado: Ficheiro ou directoria inexistente"""

So I made symbolic links from 2.7 to 2.8...
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libabiword-2.8.so /usr/local/lib/libabiword-2.7.so
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libabiword-2.8.la /usr/local/lib/libabiword-2.7.la

And now it runs ... It seems everything is working. But I believe this
is not the most beautiful solution!!! : )
