In other words Bernard, the answer is Yes. If you have Mandrake, you
either have to hunt for an unsupported compilation (thank you Hal Curtis
for the pointer) or use OpenOffice.org (my solution). In the meantime
we Mandrake users just have to wait. I don't know how to make a
Mandrake binary or I'd be happy to do it. I am not a C programmer, I'm
a perl hacker.
