Before 'make install' I switched to root

I had an 'old' local reposity to that I updated that way. 
Creating a new one was one of the last things I did before 
writing to the list!

That's exactly the way I done it.

It got but the libs are still in the subdirectory of my local 
reposity but not in the directory of my system - nothing was 
installed like before.

I updated the koffice libs as Martin told me. In the moment the 
make process is running.
