Hi, thanks to the fine work of the Debian Openoffice packager, I was able to build Openoffice within 2 weeks. When I have tested the bridge code thoroughly and done some cleanup of the patches, I will post more details. I am able to install the packages, setup openoffice and start it. The packages can be found at http://people.debian.org/~gt/openoffice.org/ The stlport packages are not built from the latest source, but work fine. Gerhard
