Hmm, I don't even have that 19626 file in .libs.  The entirety of my .libs directory is:

-rwxrwxr-x 1 500 1000    47055 Oct 17 10:48 abiword
lrwxrwxrwx 1 500 1000       20 Oct 17 10:48 libabiword-3.0.la -> ../libabiword-3.0.la
-rw-rw-r-- 1 500 1000     1200 Oct 17 10:48 libabiword-3.0.lai
-rwxrwxr-x 1 500 1000 51656791 Oct 17 10:48 libabiword-3.0.so
-rw-rw-r-- 1 500 1000    28232 Oct 17 10:48 libabiword_3.0_la-abi_ver.o
-rw-rw-r-- 1 500 1000    72024 Oct 17 10:48 libabiword_3.0_la-libabiword.o
-rwxrwxr-x 1 500 1000    47055 Oct 17 10:49 lt-abiword


Did you compile as root or sudo by any chance?
