I've tried downloading the tarball, and in /usr/local/ 'tar zxvf' then issuing 'gmake (install instructions from abiword page).. installed successfully, but then I couldn't execute the program by typing 'abiword' at a command prompt. I also tried updating my ports package, thinking that might do the trick.. but the only abiword is in /usr/ports/chinese/abiword .. that's not the right version, is it? Can someone point me in the right direction? I'm confused.. thanks dale To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
