Thanks Richard BUT the abisource page tells me to go to a Ubuntu page, which does not lead me to a binary down-loadable package. After three days of attempting to find such I e-mailed the list for help. I downloaded the source code for 2.8.6 I had hoped to avoid doing so because I will need to download many "dev" packets. It does not help that I am not familiar with the Debian system having used Redhead. The last time I tried to compile Abiword I could not find a required packet! I have downloaded source code for 2.8.6. and satisfied cofigure's requirements. "make" crashes with: g++: error: unrecognised option --no-undefined Leon Stedman. On Fri, 13 Sep 2013, Richard L.
