David,

sorry, I forgot to tell you this. I had already tried last night
exactly what you say above about KOffice from Fedora.

I cheated, ie patched the spec file to require the same version of Qt
and KDE of RH9. aspell and aspell-devel are also needed to build. The
build failed however, with the error I already reported to the koffice
mailing list: look for today's message from me titled "Cannot compile
KOffice: Bad file descriptor". Please check that for details. I also
forwarded the bug report to shrike, fedora and fedora-devel, but no
feedback so far.

HTH,
        Marco Fioretti
