you need the X development libraries. The package "xlibs-dev" would pull
in most of the libraries required - but then you will start seeing other
missing -dev libraries as well - probably Qt related for instance, since
this is a KDE app using Qt . In other words, your troubles are just
beginning ;-)

If you really *must* have 1.5.1, then I suggest that before you compile it
you run:

sudo apt-get build-dep koffice

This will grab most or all of the developmant packages required to compile
it.

If you don't need the 1.5.1 version, koffice 1.5.0 is available as an
Ubuntu package in synaptic or using apt/aptitude

$ apt-cache policy koffice
koffice:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1:1.5.0-0ubuntu9
  Version table:
     1:1.5.0-0ubuntu9 0
        500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com dapper/main Packages

It's in "main" so you shouldn't have any trouble installing it, assuming
you have a reasonably good internet connection.
