indeed (pink face): i forgot that flag.
i did as you suggested, configured, made & installed, but it told me:
  ERROR: KUniqueApplication: DCOP communication error!
when i tried it before installing ( ./oooqs  in the subdir), i got:
  Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
  kio (KSycoca): WARNING: Found version 40, expecting version 49 or higher.

perhaps Oooqs assumes KDE 3.1, whereas i'm still using 3.0.3 .

don't i have to join the Mandrake Club & pay some money for that?

is it Mandrake who haven't packaged it correctly or the M & S developers?
