Hello,
I tried to install openoffice quick launch...
when I'm in console and running the configure script I get this error
message.
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc...no
checking for cc...no
checking for cl...no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
What does it say in english??? :-)
   

that you need to install the package gcc

urpmi gcc

should do the trick, but if you truely have no development packages
installed at all there will probably be more missing dependencies.
hint, if ./configure asks for a library try

urpmi library_name-devel

cheers,

Thanks for the tip but now I have this error message:

checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check
your installation and add the correct paths!

what is it?
Not easy installing a small soft!

No. That is why rpms are so nice.

Whenever a ./configure fails read the error messages carefully. They will 
usually mention a file name, or a package name. 
To find the missing package do

urpmf string
where string is the file name(or part of it) mentioned in the error message.
Then install the '-devel' version of the package which contains that file.
In this example it simply says it cannot find X Well obviously X is installed, 
so it must mean it needs 'XFree86-devel' 
Install that then try again.

Thanks to Derek I installed the xfree devel package...
I started the install over and a new error message asking me to install 
Qt3...
Since I learned that the soft has to be installed I go to rpmdrake to do 
it... So many entries I choose the main one with the dependencies...
After I go back to my console and start over again to install the quick 
launch...
Same error message... So I go back to rpmdrake and select all the Qt3 
packages left.
And I get the signature error message. I pass and then I get an other 
error message... end of the story.
Could some one tell me what this Qt3 is for and give me the list of the 
packages to install?
I promise to use rpms all the time :-)  But in this case there was none!
By the way I don't understand why this quick launch is not coming with 
open office like under windows (Ups I said it ;-) )
In the meantime I'm going paragliding for a change.
Have a nice Sunday
Christophe

QT is a Window toolkit. It is what KDE is based on. You did not post the exact 
error message, but I would guess it is asking for libqt3-devel

It seems Openoffice has a -quickstart feature built into the Linux version.
If you run it with 'ooffice -quickstart'  when you first start your session, 
then ooffice will run in background. The next time you start ooffice 
normally, then it will appear almost immediately.
