The story was: first of all, it was Python 2.0 on my comp. When=20 I see this warning first time, I upgrade it to 2.1. Then repead=20 =2E/configure, see message again and sent letter to you. Then I=20 delete the sourse directory with Koffice at all, and switched=20 on my main work.=20 Next time when I have a time to try compiling, I unarch tar.gz=20 again, ./configure - and there was no such warning (and I reply=20 to you that "I do all this", that means that I successfully=20 compile Koffice). As I remember, third time machine say "yes"=20 for the last of libs in list (name contain word "utils"), for=20 others she say "no". By the way - why ./configure does not contain in first lines=20 (before configuring process) something like: if test -f config.cache =09then rm config.cache In general, I think than ./configure script must contain option=20 "--clean" to remove all config files from previous configuring,=20 and this option must be default. Maybe, it will be useful to=20 execute "make clean" when this option swithed on. This is=20 because in most cases user do "./configure" when he want to=20 compile from the beginning... > > > When I write this report, I only follow by given > > instructions - "to let you know" about problem -;) > > But that's useless, if you don't tell us what the missing lib > was. I think that this information contains in configure/compiler=20 messages... :-(( I see on console - "something ... no" - and=20 think that it is enougth for professionals... I am not a programmer, and I understand more less that you. If=20 you want to get information without such active&direct emailing=20 - this information must contain in error messages. Or put instruction for user to warning message, in manner: "If you see this message, please, do: 1.... 2.... 3.... "
