no, I had said binary because it is a binary:

[marco at polaris ~]$ file /usr/local/bin/abiword 
/usr/local/bin/abiword: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=0x09a41a0a13e8e09c817dedb54f9189638bb05893, not stripped
[marco at polaris ~]$ echo $PATH
/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/NX/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/home/z/bin:/home/marco/bin:/home/z/bin

I too thought that since it uses shared libs it may be loading
something from the 2.8.6 installation through such libs, but fail to
see what/where they may be. /usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin is empty, and the
others are "bin", not "lib" folders.
