Thanks. This seemed to get through that hang in the compile, but now
it hangs because it can't find XML/LibXML.pm. I did a search for
LibXML, and the obvious package, libxml-libxml-common-perl, did not
help (I already had libxml2 installed).

No, the reason is that I'm working with temporary hardware and wanted
to avoid doing that, but now I did install the Sun JRE. When I try to
use unoconv on a .docx file I get:
unoconv: UnoException during conversion: File could not be loaded by
OpenOffice The provided document cannot be converted to the desired
format.
This sounds like it relies on OpenOffice, which I don't have
installed.
