Thanks very much Mr. Watson you did interpret my question as intended. I also run a full installation of Slackware with PV's patches I had a problem building the most recent Libreoffice.Slackbuild on my patched system, but it did build on a fresh installation on a qemu virtual machine without the patches. That is what brought the question to mind. However my system may not be perfect with regards to other software (ie non-SBo). I just wanted to establish the same starting point as the maintainer. Now I can try to track down the problem with my system or the slackbuild.
