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,

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.
