i have to confess i have tried a 5.th item ... ...i.e. to install abiword from the debian-wheezy repo ...and t could get a working abiword-2.9.2 ...with a returned warning comment about GLIB when started from console. This needed to install gtk3... See list of installed packages hereunder.

Maybe you might try an easier and safer way, and install it from the PPM as shown hereunder - this will also indicate you to install the needed dependencies - ... and add manualy the eventual missing dependencies that could still arise.
trick: use to start abiword from console
Code: Select all
#abiword
Code: Select all
#ldd /usr/bin/abiword
Now once installed, you maybe anyway would appreciate this post: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=77122
hope this helps
