Yuck. Those errors are caused by an outdated version of wvware (http://wvware.sourceforge.net/) and are not easy to fix in anything close to a clean manner.
Is there any chance you can build/use/distribute a newer version of wvware for Trinity?

Is there any chance you can build/use/distribute a newer version of wvware for Trinity?
I have no idea why I have that package installed. Long time ago.
Yet, now that we've run into the problem, I downloaded, built, and installed version 1.2.7. I'll try again to build koffice tomorrow.
I probably should try building koffice without the wv package installed since that package is not part of the stock Slackware.

I don't know if kdepim will build without wvware as it is used to import MS documents, but please let me know either way.

Did you mean koffice rather than kdepim?
I'm a tad confused, but I was getting sleepy when I quit last night.
Short story: the wv package is not a part of the stock Slackware and was not installed in my chroot environment. So what caused the build failure? Today I realized there is a wv2 package installed by the stock Slackware. The wv and wv2 packages are not the same. Looking at the include declarations in texthandler.cpp shows wv2 and not wv. Therefore the wv2 package was the problem.
Now I'm less confused.
The wv2 version provided by Slackware 12.2 and 13.0 is 0.2.3. The version provided in Slackware 13.1 and Current is 0.4.2.
I'll run a koffice build with the newer version of wv2. If koffice builds without failing with that same error then 0.4.2 will become another dependency.
Yet that raises a question. What changed from 3.5.10/1.6.3 that created this error? As koffice built in 12.2 with the older version of wv2 without such errors, something changed. I should know what changed since 3.5.10/1.6.3 to create this newer dependency so I can add that information to the documentation I am preparing.

Yes I did, sorry.

Same here apparently.

The wv2 API did. The changes were extensive enough that it would have been quite ugly/borderline unmaintainable to keep compatibility with the old API. Also a factor in this decision is that the older version of wv2 has far more problems reading M$ documents (its primary function) than the new one, so there is really no reason to stick with the older version.
