We just downloaded and installed the Linux binary of OOo 1.1rc3
on my wife's FreeBSD 4.8 box with no problems. My 4.6.2 box,
however, doesn't want to play.

I untar the install files into a directory in my home directory, run
./setup and it puts up an unpacking window (box opening and
progress bar), then a text box saying 'The script file is now being
read. Please wait a moment ...' - then an alert box saying
'Important program files were not found. The installation set may
be damaged.'

The thing is, this is the *exact* same tarball which worked on the
4.8 box.

Has anyone else encountered this? Any idea what it means?

I do have linux_base-6 and linux_base-7 installed, as does the
4.8 box.

(We also tried the FreeBSD native tarball, but it insists on trying
to install in /usr/local and doesn't seem to give the option of
installing to a home directory.)
