I have always done it as above in Mandrake and Red Hat, but it doesn't work
for Debian. I have recently installed it on two Debian systems without any
problems in here:-
# ./install -prefix=/usr/local/lib
rather than:-
# ./install -prefix=/usr/lib
This is not the Debian version, but the OpenOffice.org1.1.0 version downloaded
from the site.
It seems to work well, but I will have to wait a while just to get the
feedback. Puts up all the OO applications into the bigK main menu. But you
can change that if you wish. You might try that if you have no joy otherwise.
It is strange that you're having trouble and I think there might be something
else wrong?
