Furthermore gzip-1.3.12.tar.gz fails to compile properly failing on a
/usr/include/ system headers.

Number 3 try - (alternate method)

I downloaded OOo_2.2.1_LinuxIntel_install_wJRE_en-US.tar.gz for the 
third time.  As a test I opened it with Ark Zipper then exported to a
directory.  Then "cp -R" to a place (/mnt/sda10/o/OOo} that I do all of 
this kind of stuff.  I then did as OO suggested and cleared unwanted 
rpms then did "-Uvih RPM/open*.rpm".  And it worked.

I must conclude the problem is with either tar or gzip.  Ark Zipper and 
RPM worked.  A fresh version of gzip will not compile.  when run 
directly gzip errors out in the same place.
