My mistake... I thought you were installing 4.0sp3.  I've been to
www.waldherr.org, Dejanews, Staroffice News, and every other place I
can think of, followed their instructions and it will not install.  

I've put the export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:~/location_libc5
statement in my root .bash_profile, logged out and logged back in. 
I've tried libc5+libm v44 and v38 in the default libc5 dir's with
symlinks and run ldconfig.  No go!  Core dumps again.  I've tried both
the available staroffice-wrappers (4.4 & 4.5) to no avail.  I've edited
the path statement in ./setup to point to the lib5's installed by the
wrappers and BTW neither of the wrappers produce a bin directory under
/usr/local/Office40/, they just put setup in there by itself parallel
to the lib dir and the untar executable scipt  (setup.bin never shows
up there which according to the instructions from the wrapper it
should!). So last night I tried manually installing and I got a
Office40_Install dir to show up in root.  Running ./setup from there
core dumps so I tried retarring and gz'ing the directory structure
after changing ownership and group to root and making the entire
directory world read and write.  Then I symlinked so40?? etc. in /tmp 
from /root and the rpm's didn't recognize the tar ball! No matter what
I do it core dumps on ./setup everytime.

So... I've dumped it and I'm gonna by the $99.00 Applixware Suite from
RedHat.
