interesting. On my box, it aborts  when done as normal user (marco):

[marco at polaris src]$ pwd
/home/marco/abi3/abiword-3.0.0/src
[marco at polaris src]$ ./abiword 
/bin/ld: cannot open output file /home/marco/abi3/abiword-3.0.0/src/.libs/19626-lt-abiword: Permission denied
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit statusn[marco at polaris src]$

but works, and says "Abiword 3.0.0" when I do the same thing as root:

[marco at polaris src]$ su -
Password: 
[root at polaris ~]# cd /home/marco/abi3/abiword-3.0.0/src/
[root at polaris src]# ./abiword

(starts normally)

Weird. I got no errors, and I don't remember seeing any warning that
may be related to this. Thanks a lot, but what now?

Hmmm
