Never mind, I downloaded SO5.2 from www.sun.com, and ran the setup (as root) on a RH7.1. The setup prompted me for a directory to install "StarOffice components" in, so I chose /usr/local/lib/office52 which seemed appropriate to me. The installation proceeded smoothly. I don't recall any surprises along the way. In the end, I symlinked /usr/local/bin/soffice to /usr/local/lib/office52/programs/soffice. Then I tried to start soffice (as a regular user). All I got was a popup saying that it can't find /usr/local/lib/office52/user/sofficerc. It offered me two buttons: Repair and Cancel. Repair throws me out to the shell, with return code 0. Cancel brings up another popup that says "Do you really want to exit the StarOffice 5.2 installation program? [Yes/No]" which surprised me a lot, since it is installed already (or at least I thought so). The shell return code is still 0. I figured that the file (which was there, of course) had wrong permissions, (it was 644), so I changed it to 666. Now soffice silently presents me with a shell prompt, with 0 return code. As root, it starts normally. I have not tried to do anything yet, because I do not intend to do anything with it as root. StarOffice users of Israel, please tell me what have I screwed up? -- Oleg Goldshmidt | [EMAIL PROTECTED] "If it ain't broken, it has not got enough features yet." ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
