This probably will require either EPEL or someone on this list who can 
generate a working binary.  A naive rpmbuild --rebuild yields:

error: Failed build dependencies:

and when I start with the first failed dependency:

yum install aiksaurus-devel
No package aiksaurus-devel available.
Error: Nothing to do

Hopefully, someone will have both the time (and required effort) to 
build abiword (more or less current) and to be able to
release either a consistent and ready to build set of rpm.src files for 
SL7, etc., or a built binary RPM along with whatever other built
RPMs are required again for SL7. As it appears that there are business 
restrictions that prevent Owlriver from offering any such binaries,
I hope that someone else may -- or EPEL will come through in short 
order. (I was under the impression that a business could offer executable
software without cost for download provided the usual "disclaim all" was 
part of the download and use "license".)   abiword  is available for
  ubuntu http://abiword.en.uptodown.com/ubuntu/download
(not to claim that Ubuntu LTS is somehow better than SL) from at least 
one site on the web .
