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.
Hi,
Thanks very much for your e-mail! Here are the details from
% yum list fribidi
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
Installed Packages
fribidi.i586 0.19.2-1.fc11 installed
Clearly this is installed. But yum provides */libfribidi0*

I wonder if there is a conflict with something else.
