As AbiWord is very difficult to install with its numerous dependencies, I suggest to replace AbiWord by alternative tools which are easier to install and better maintained.

I contacted the AbiWord developers, but unsuccessfully with the view to fix several multi-platform installation issues (for example, on LINUX SLES), and to fix the "AbiWord crashes on certain input files" problems. They also stated that AbiWord is not the suited tool for (our EPLITE) import/export issues.
