Thanks Randy,

I've already found that particular library, installed
it and now abiword runs fine. But now, I have another
problem. All my plugins are missing. I've already
searched the abiword's website to download plugins but
I found nothing there. Most importantly, I would like
to use the grammar checker and the Thesaurus plugins
but none of them are available. If you know where can
I download these plugins from, please let me know.

Thanks,
J. Mak
