Umm, where did you download the rpm's from? I have looked before, but
didn't have much luck...

What I did was just to download and install the tarball (binary file)
from openoffice.org... works fine here, although I think it's built for
an i386 and I run an i686 .. so I guess an i586 build probablty would
speed up things.

What version of Mandrake are you running? If 8.1, gcc3 and others are on
the install cd's.
~ What I think you did was to download a file from a contrib ftp
directory or not? Well, please give me the URL you used, and I will try
it here... and let you know....

About the j2re and kafee... well, I can't help... I don't like java, and
it does not like me. Never got it working here with openoffice.org
either :-) Does not matter, it works without.

Neither do I know the answer to the unicode Q... sorry about that :-)

For what it's worth.. I hope this helps

Greetings
Ralph
