Thanks a lot, that helped.
Manage to compile and install, but when i try to convert something i get:
> wvText temp.doc temp.txt
wvText: lynx: not found
Could not convert into Text
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I didn't realilize it was necessary to have lynx for the wvText. In the web site it says "wvText: converts word to plain text. Textually correct output requires 'lynx.' For poor output, this doesn't require anything special."
I don't care about correct output, I just need to get the docs into plain text. With wvCleanLaTex can I do this?

I'm told: "there is a wvText.xml that you can use explicitly (wvWare -x xml/wvText.xml) or if it can't find lynx, it *should* use it automatically. wvText w/o lynx results in just a dump of your document to text, though. formatting is not preserved."
As for wvCleanLatex, you are the best judge of how useful it is...

Hi,
I am trying to install in a Solaris machine and i get an error message:
checking for executable suffix... configure: error: installation or configuration problem: compiler cannot create executables.
The config.log file contains this:
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

What's wrong and what can i do to fix it?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Sun's bundled cc isn't very usable. Try this:
CC=gcc ./configure ...

I tryied that, but i got:
> CC=gcc ./configure
CC=gcc: Command not found
damn. nasty csh. hmm... k, try:
setenv CC gcc
./configure ...

ps. Just out of curiosity, is Foo your real surname? - or just a geeky-cool attempt at anonymity?

lynx is a text-based web-browser. If you don't have it, maybe you can use wvCleanLatex instead of wvText?

wvCleanLatex produces complete useless output for me, so i'm back with the wvText...
How do i force it to use the wvText.xml?
Thanks again
Probably easiest to edit wvText and change the following line:
USING_LYNX=1
to
USING_LYNX=0
