Re: No package 'abiword-2.8' found

Renaming and linking things is not the right way to go. You should fix
things in configure.in so that the abiword version is correctly checked.
I attach a patch adapted from the way goffice is checked for gnumeric.
With this patch, things compile for me (and seem to work).
