Hi!
You are correct, it was a bad entry in the PATH variable. There was also another issue with the DirectX SDK. The instructions at http://tools.openoffice.org/dev_docs/build_windows_tcsh.html are not totally accurate. It states that the Summer 2004 SDK is not available any more. A quick Google gave me the link to download it. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=FD044A42-9912-42A3-9A9E-D857199F888E&displaylang=en
OK, I underestimated MS ;) But you can as well use the current version.
The configure script checks to see if the DirectX SDK is installed by locating a registry entry. This entry is not present with the 2005 or 2006 SDK's, only with the 2004.
You never told us *which* version you are trying to build. Obviously not a current version, because that check changed to a check for the DXSDK_DIR environment variable because of the reasons that you mentioned.
