The first Q in the antiword FAQ file is about installing antiword. After the "make install" step you must then create "~/.antiword" and copy into that directory one or more of the mapping files found under the directory "resources" in the antiword directory. I just copied them all. Be sure the files have the correct permissions and ownership and antiword works like a charm.
