I have downloaded the binaries for OO 642 , 641D and the Swedish binaries for 641c and tried to install them. All installation attempts fail. What I do get is a progress meter that's actually indicating something -in it's own window- and the message "glibc: 2.2.4" in my terminal. Then the process dies and I get the prompt back. Is it still so that you have to have glibc 2.2.1 in order install OO? I'm running SuSE 7.3, everything updated today with apt-get. My java is j2sdk1.4.0 from Sun but I've tried 1.3.1 and 1.3 with the same meager results. Do I have to build it from sources? (Will take 36 hrs on my PII!) Please help me. -- Anyone can make an omelet with eggs. The trick is to make one with none.

Do not know if this will help any... I have install binaries for 641C and 641D and several SuSE 7.2 and 7.3 systems and my results have been the progress meter that you describe and the message glibc: 2.2.4" and then a full window comes up with the introduction and end user license, etc. and then the install begins. The details of my install procedure are to extract the files from the ****.tar.gz to a directory /opt/openoffice641/ If you are using 641C it will setup an "install" directory, if you are using 641D it will setup a "normal" directory. As root cd to either the "install" or "normal" directory and run ./setup -net. That is it and works everytime, well subject to a couple of caveats. 1. My laptop is now running SuSE 7.2 rather 7.3 because that was what needed to be done to get OpenOffice/Staroffice to work on that computer. The laptop has a S3 graphics card (savage?) that is not fully supported in XFree 4.1, at least as far as OpenOffice is concerned. The quickest fix was to load SuSE 7.2, where the graphics card is not an issue, and then load Openoffice and move on. 2. I think I read that you need to have Star Office 5.2 installed on your computer before you can load Openoffice/StarOffice6. Not much real information here, but maybe it will help you. -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, rsanford@telusplanet.net - should you trust your government?
