I had a problem installing the latest version of
OpenOffice (641c). I use Window Maker as my window
manager and for some reason OpenOffice would not
install. Don't ask me why but I tried to install it
under Gnome and hey presto it worked.
That was good but I am not a fan of Microsoft desktop
look-a-likes so I recompiled Window Maker using a deb
source package making sure Gnome support was compiled
in. Hey presto OpenOffice started working under
Window Maker. I can only assume Sun has started
intergrating StarOffice into Gnome like they said they
would when the Gnome Club, or whatever it is called,
was formed.
Anyways, hope this helps.
Cheers Geoff
