For those feeling more comfortable installing Abiword without throwing lots of files into the root filesystem the
mount -o bind olddir newdir command is a good option. I have Abiword running (the run.sh script gives some errors but executing <install_dir./bin/abiword from ssh shell works fine, especially using the USB keyboard) using the following mount commands. First execute:
Quote:
mkdir <install_dir>/etc
mount -o bind <install_dir>/loaders /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/loaders/
# wait a few seconds to establish the mount
/usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > <install_dir>/etc/gdk-pixbuf.loaders
|
add this to the run.sh script or execute it manually
Quote:
mount -o bind <install_dir>/loaders /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/loaders/
mount -o bind <install_dir>/etc /etc/gtk-2.0
|
where
<install_dir> is the abiword directory e.g.
/mnt/card/abiword
The nice thing about using this consturction is that the root file system is not touched and after reboot or unmount the original filesystem is unchanged.
Remark: selecting some items in the menu cause abiword to crash.I will post the output later.
Hope this will lower the risk of installing and using Abiword!
