Due to licences conflicts OOo=LGPL&SISSL Fink=GPL it should be
impossible to distribute OOo via fink. If they want to they have to
get the "clean" Debianversion but this version needs to be ported to
the mac and so the efford it too huge to get OOo into fink.

Fink people please correct me if I am wrong.


What you can do is download the ooo103darwingm.dmg.tz from any
listed European FTP Server, cause most of the listed US Servers
still link to the Final Beta and run the installer placed in the Mac
OS X Folder in the Diskimage. This installer will guide you through
the setup and install any missing libraries and programs on your
computer. It should also be clever enough to detect any installed
X-Server, equal if it is Apple's X11 or Xfree86.org or another one,
and so not install the one it brings along.

After installation you can run OOo with the StarOpenOffice.org
Script that is in the OpenOfficel.org1.03 folder in your Application
folder.
