Cuddles: I spent some time installing the WMF plugin. (Too long. This is what I hate about Linux: the software's free, but you have to bang your head on it to get it to work!)

Anyway, you'll have to install libwmf-dev. Simply (as root) apt-get update then apt-get install libwmf-dev. (And you can use "dpkg --list "packagename*" or "dpkg -l "packagename*" to find out what packages are installed and available.)

Next, extract it and navigate to the /wmfthumbnail-0.2/src directory. You'll need to edit the file "wmfthumbcreator.cpp" because, for some reason, it isn't finding the math library and will error out on the "ceil" function when you try to "make" it. (I don't know much about editing "make" files, or I'd try that instead.)

At the top of the file, right after the #include "wmfthumbcreator.h" line, add a new line that reads #include "/usr/include/math.h", all on its own line by itself.

Then ./configure, make, and (as root) make install like normal.

Finally, it doesn't install the binaries in the right places. You'll need to copy or move the files "wmfthumbnail.la" and "wmfthumbnail.so" from /usr/local/kde/lib/kde3 (where the installer put them) to /usr/lib/kde3, and copy or move the file "wmfthumbnail.desktop" from /usr/local/kde/share/services (where the installer put it) to /usr/share/services.

You can move the docs (or not) as you choose!
