If the command is greyed-out, it means that the openoffice plugin wasn't 
found. That could mean a couple of things, first, you did a "make install" 
right? There might also be another installation of Tellico on your computer 
that's mixing things up, possible if you installed the tellico package, 
then compiled and installed from source to a different location.

Also, it may be necessary for you to edit the /etc/ld.so.conf file or to add 
a file to the /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ directory. I'm not sure what method ubuntu 
uses. For me, on Suse, I have a file in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ called 
openoffice.conf with a single line
/usr/lib/ooo-2.0/program/
which is where the openoffice libraries are installed.

All of the compilation warnings are just warnings. If the compilation 
finished ok, then there shouldn't be a problem.
