i am using the suse 8.2 pro distro for a while now. i am not exactly a novice to linux but neither am i an expert.

i have compiled kde 3.2.3 from source and i am using that as my main desktop now...no problems here. i went on to compile koffice 1.3.2 and here the problems began. towards the end of "make" i get an error and i have tracked it down to the plugin that enables koffice to read msword docs.

this is the error i get

ok now i see the problem relating to wv2 (i have the most recent version). also where it says no such file or directory in bold well the file DOES exist.

how do i rectify this? do i ahve to install anything else? all the files relating to errors are in their correct directories!

thanks for your patience!!!

noone has a clue? ( still working on it....but nothing

yes i have all that installed.....funny thing is i came across this suggestion about updating automake and auoconf. (according to koffice webite i already had the minimum versions of these programs) i updated them rand .configure again and make and voila! everything worked! i am sorta hesitanat to believe it was automake and autoconf that made the difference....

(offtopic a bit) after you update a program and run ldconfig is it necessary to reboot inux? or don't the files get auyomatically updated? thnaks!
