So I then set LD_LIBVRARY_PATH to /usr/lib/openoffice/program, upon
which it started complaining about missing .so.3 library.

Soooo, I made symbolic links to each of these as it complained about
them.

Finally setup ran to the point of aborting...but the "maybe it's a
font" is IMHO highly unlikely as setup ran OK for both 1.0 and 1.0.1
from the tarballs.

I'm wondering if my original problem was the nv driver. I know it's
possible to run this on my hardware, as my initial basic test was to
fire up Knoppix (and OO under that). No problems.
