Hello Christian, Thanks for your detailed explanation but i am looking for libraries like gtk which are used for graphics. Can you enlist them? -- Warm Regards From Abhimanyu Shegokar <a href="http://www.abhimanyushegokar.co.cc">www.abhimanyushegokar.co.cc</a> Set out to correct the world's wrongs and you will almost certainly wind up adding to them.

Not sure what you mean with gui/ux libraries here. You can build libreoffice without much system-dependencies, so the installation is more or less self-contained and doesn't have external dependencies. To build libreoffice, you can install dependencies to any prefix you like, provided that you then add the path with the pkg-info data to the corresponding environment variable (PKG_CONFIG_PATH or pass the flags manually to override/skip pkg-config detection so configure can find them As for gui libraries, libreoffice can integrate with gtk and/or kde-theming and file-dialogs, but that is optional. If they are not available, LO will default to its own colors/its own look/use its own dialogs. But I'd consider gtk or kde devel packages "general dependencies" that your mentor could install, so maybe I'm missing your point. > I want to have all the install dependencies related to ux in > /home folder since i don't have sudo permission at my college. Other general > dependencies can be resolved by asking my mentor to install them. Again not sure what you mean with ux related dependencies. Maybe you mean glade to edit the UI files? That is not needed to build, only if you want to modify the dialogs, but the above notice applies as well - just build glade with --prefix=/your/home/some/dir. HTH ciao Christian </blockquote></div>
