Previously we installed a lot of the internal headers and tools to get the split build going - this meant that they worked out of the box on many systems. In -theory- the URE has the same tools and functionality ;-) in reality ... most likely it needs improvement around packaging and particularly usability. The URE is still there in SUSE - it just lives in the libreoffice-sdk package. > or just switch back to M$ office programming + a terminal server?

Sure it was a good decision. > So what's the current state of ure in libreoffice? It's still there, and it should work, anything else is a bug. More details such as: error messages from the idl / header compiler - I assume you're running: /usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.4/sdk/bin/idlc for example ? Of course, sharing the source or an equivalent piece of test code would be even better to allow people to help you.
