Re: make creates 2.8.6 and 2.8.2 versions

When you type ./src/.libs/abiword --version, the executable uses an
already installed library, which is, I suppose, the 2.8.2 version, while
the abiword file in your src directory is actually a script which
ensures that the built library is used. When you install
(to /usr/local?) you do install abiword-2.8.6, but the directory where
you install the new library is most probably not taken into account by
the dynamic loader. Check the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable and/or the
configuration in /etc/ld.so.conf
