James....that exact same thing happened to me back before Star
was owned by Sun, version 5.0, I believe. Anyway, what I did
to circumvent the problem was to copy the installation
directory and its entire contents to my hard drive. When I
ran ./setup from my own hard drive I no longer got the error
and Star Office installed just fine.
