I've never tried to install from Mandrakes rpms, I've always installed
from a download from www.openoffice.org, currently version 1.0.1
I'm running it on Mandrake 8.1. Works fine.
Try this then, from a console:
From the directory where you decompressed the install file:
(make sure you have 250 MB free on hard disk)
as root, # ./setup -net � (put in /opt/OOo101) (run to
completion)
(if you have java fine, if not fine)
as user, �$ ./setup � � � � �(in /home/<user>/OOo101) (run to
completion)
Copy add'l dictionaries to /home/<user>/OOo101/share/dict/ooo/*
This is the best way I've found to install OOorg. I haven't had much
luck with the Install script.

Richard.
