Where and how did you look "around the web"? fribidi-0.19.2-1.fc11
contains libfribidi.so.0 with the symbol you refer to. That library
is a direct dependency of abiword. If that "fribidi" package is
not installed on your machine, you've managed to break your
installation somehow. It will need a few RPM queries to show what
is installed ... and a few repoquery runs to show what packages
are available to you.
