I need to read a Excel .xls spread sheet, I thought I might be able to do=
 this=20
with kspread.

However when I try to run it after emerging it (twice now) I get this:

 $ kspread
koffice (lib kofficecore): ERROR: Couldn't find the native MimeType in=20
kspread's desktop file. Check your installation !
Mutex destroy failure: Device or resource busy

Also none of the koffice programs show up in the menu even after I run=20
KAppfinder.

Ideas?
