I wouldn't personally know, as I've never installed any version of it. I do have kspread installed as I needed it to view an MS Excel file awhile back, but that's about it. If I was still running multilib and I needed OOo, I'd probably merge the 32-bit precompiled, just because I don't consider it worth the trouble, here. However, since I'm running no-multilib now (and haven't regretted it yet, rather the opposite as it's less hassle AND less compile time on gcc and glibc, among others) and as AFAIK there's no 64-bit precompiled version. But since OOo is GTK based and I'm a KDE (3.x, so far) guy, I'd certainly try koffice or its individual components (such as the kspread I already have merged) first. I have GTK installed, but only for pan and now firefox, and every once in awhile, I consider switching off of pan and back to konqueror exclusively, and killing GTK on my box. But I haven't yet. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs. "Every nonfree program has a lord, a master -- and if you use the program, he is your master." Richard Stallman
