When trying to compile AbiWord from source, running the ./config script
will fail, and at the same time inform you what the needed dependencies 
are. The dependencies are header files, contained in various -dev 
packages. So when the config script reports (for example) "header files 
for libpng not found," use your package manager to search for libpng and 
then look for a libpng package with a -dev on the end.

You may have to do this more than once, to get all the necessary header
files.

When the appropriate -dev packages are installed you should then run

./config --help | less

to see what extra features you can install in AbiWord. Adding these 
extra features will require you to install additional packages.
