Did you get the same the error trying with mandriva-menus?

You hit the nail on the head!  I should have tried that myself, but I 
was slavishly following instructions rather than using my head!
Everything is now copacetic.  I have the whole set of OO programs in 
my GUI menu, and they work--at least Writer does,
so I assume they all do.  This has been a long grind for each of us, 
and I am grateful for your help and your patience--all of

you who pitched in to help me.  Thank you very much!

(I still think you need an easier installation. It was not like this 
months ago when I installed the program on my desktop.)

 It is not all that complex. Some of steps could even be written as 
a script that you could run as a superuser.

1) Extract the AOO tar file.
2) Browse to the RPMS files using the command line.
3) As a superuser, enter this commandrpm -UVH *.rpm
4) Browse to the desktop-integration folder.
5) As a superuser, enter this commandrpm -UVH name of mandriva-menu 
file.rpm

6) Close the command line.
 This should be all that it takes to install AOO.

By the way, your wish is not far from reality. Symphony has now been 
discontinued. The former Symphony team is currently working on 
OpenOffice, integrating some interesting Symphony code: see
