Werner & David:
I could not use your instructions exactly as I have my kde and koffice
installed in a user directory. I don't want to install cvs HEAD in
root. here are the problems I had:

Well my kde CVS head is installed in an account /home/kword/kde-copy.
I have the bin/ , lib/ and include/ directories there. I used
./configure --bindir=/home/kword/kde-copy/bin/
--libdir=/home/kword/kde-copy/lib
--includedir=/home/kword/kde-copy/include/
for configuring wv2. wv2 compiled and installed ( in
/home/kword/kde-copy ) just fine.

I did this.

It was there in the configure step:
checking for wv2-config... /home/kword/kde-copy/bin/wv2-config
I also had this in koffice/config.h:
/* Defines if your system has the wv2 library */
#define HAVE_WV2 1

I did this and reran kbuildsycoca

I tried to open a basic MSWord file (Office97) and I got "could not
import file of type application/msword". I moved my ~./kde directory
and restarted the KDE desktop but Kword would still would not load the
MSWord docs. Also previews of MSword docs in Konqueror give a similar
error message. Do I have to allow wv2 to install in /usr/bin for the
filters to work ? I am really hesitant to do that.
I have this for my directories and path:
export QTDIR=/home/kword/qt-copy
export KDEDIR=/home/kword/kde-copy
export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$KDEDIR/bin:$PATH
export MANPATH=$QTDIR/doc/man:$MANPATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$KDEDIR/lib:$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
I am using Koffice Head on KDE Head.
TIA
Jonathan
