Installing software can often involve installing the required support libraries
(which sometimes require libraries of their own). Star Office requires a lot
of free disk space for installation. There's a mini how to which describes the
installation process, including for rpms. I know nothing about wrapper.rpm
For anyone who wants to know about Staroffice, the ftp download site is:
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/staroffice
The home page for Star Office is:
http://www.stardivision.com
The mini how-to is available from the Linux documentation project at
sunsite.unc.edu. Since I guess you've got RedHat, I'm think that you have all
the how-tos etc. already on your CD, but I don't know about the mini-how tos.
If you don't have them, you should go and get them.
