Thanks for the reply.  I've interposed comments below.

I have Mandriva 2006 with kde 3.4.2.

Is there an index somewhere of dependencies and development packages 
required?  Other than http://www.koffice.org/download/source.php which 
I'll have to re-read.  "extra" is mildly vague.

The latest version Mandriva provides for this OS is  1.4.2.

I am after the scripting support for KSpread.  Perhaps I need to wait?

Linux OS.

Right.  Using the distros doesn't work for me.  It probably doesn't work 
that well for KOffice either.

Thanks again for your reply.  I will probably need to look elsewhere for 
a spreadsheet.
