That is the same trouble I am having with abiword-x11.


>> After that I tried installing the other abiword package, version 2.4.5_0 and it says it installed.  The problem I am having now is I can not start the program.  When I open a xterm window and type abiword I get the error message: bash: abiword: command not found.  Am I doing anything wrong?  Help help would be looked upon kindly with any version of abiword.

I typed  /opt/local/bin/abiword and got the return of bash: 
/opt/local/bin/abiword: No such file or directory.  This happened both 
in xterm and in the Terminal.
