Well good news for ya. :) There is a statically linked binary, just
download it from the same place you got the RPM (assuming you got
it from http://www.abisource.com/dl_linux_intel.phtml). The statically
linked version is available as a .tar.gz package with a shell script
installer.
Also, we have libraries which should satisfy Mandrake Linux's requirement
for glib, gmodule (it's part of glib) and gtk. Check out
http://www.abisource.com/downloads/libraries/[redhat] for RPMs.
You might try grabbing the needed RPMs from the libraries section
and see if the RPM AbiWord package installs on your machine. If it doesn't,
send me a note with all the gory details and give the static
binary a shot.
