Hi, I need some help plz

Hi from Mexico, well I have Centos 5 and I want to install koffice, I've downloaded the source and when I type ./configure it give me a message error "checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!" I was reading about that and I tried to install some about xorg-devel, libs-devel, xorg-x11-devel, but I just got gtk2-devel, any ideas why I still have the same problem.

thank you for your support

What you need is probably a package called libX11-devel.  So the following 
command should install it for you:

yum install libX11-devel

I also know from experience that you will probably need many more -devel 
packages. Those packages contain include files that are used for exactly what 
you are doing now: building software from source code.

You should be able to follow the configuration and see which devel packages 
you need.  Should you have even more problems, you can always write more 
mails to koffice-devel or join us on IRC at freenode.org in the channel 
#koffice.

Good luck!

Another release coordinator

Hi,

I'm sorry -- but I really have drop my responsibility as release coordinator 
for KOffice. The duties are pretty light -- helping to arrive at a release 
schedule, coordinating with Inge on release notes & notifying the release 
team about impending doom^Wreleases so they can do tarballs. But I have to 
drop a few of the balls I'm juggling, and this is one. Any volunteer to help 
out here?

And the release team as well, I guess.

2.0 Alpha 7 changelog

Hello,

We are going to have an Alpha 7 (r801228) in a few days. I would like to 
collect the changes that have happen in the applications since Alpha 6 
(released on February, 20th r774319) ?

Release proposition: Individual applications release

Hello,

We have been trying to release KOffice 2.0 as a bundle for sometime, but it 
didn't work out since some important office applications are not ready, but 
at the same time some applications are getting closer to be ready. So Casper 
suggested to make individual application release. That would mean, once an 
application is ready we just release it. Then once KSpread, KWord and 
KPresenter have been released, we can go back to "normal" KOffice bundle 
packages, including all applications that are ready (probably for a 2.1 
release, or 2.0.x "remix").

== Issues ==

That leaves a couple of issues :

 * KoLibs : I don't think it's possible to freeze API/ABI of the libraries 
with the first "application release", so that probably means that we will 
have to release KoLibs, then a bunch of application tagged as "Stable", then 
other applications marked as "Beta" or "Alpha"

 * having 1.6 applications along with 2.0 applications, the biggest proble is 
application data (and by that I mean data that is "shared", like the content 
of koffice/pics/hicolor koffice/servicetypes and koffice/templates ...), 
since libraries are versionned (and of course KoApp 1.6 + KoApp 2.0 in the 
same prefix is out of question), it's probably something to discuss with 
packagers

== Applications ==

It should be up to the maintainer of an application to decide when he thinks 
his application is ready. But it would be nice to have an estimation of when 
your application is going to be in a beta state ?

The application that looks the closest to a release is kspread (kplato doesn't 
seem to be far away as well), but there is no one commiting on it 
currently :/ And kchart isn't ready.

Any thoughts ? Objections ?
