uhm, there really is a very simple rule for this: if configure complains that it cannot find the "foo" library, and you see that you have a "libfooN" package installed, then you should install a package that (on debian or derived distros) is either named "libfoo-dev" or "libfooN-dev". that rule should apply at least 95% of the time. but of course there is also a simpler way: for a lot (but not all) of external libraries, the OOo repository already contains a copy. you can enable those by passing --without-system-libs to configure. if you really want to build with system libs, probably the easiest way is something like "apt-get build-dep openoffice.org" (but that is still not perfect, because it may install more or less than what your particular configure flags on your particular source milestone require). regards, michael -- "When C++ is your hammer, everything looks like a thumb." -- Steven M.
