No. And what I don't understand is, why do the StarDivision people even
bother giving you those libraries anyway? I mean, they want you to set the
library path to include their library directory -- and *first* in the path
-- therefore, if some program you want to run was compiiled for a
different libc version, it won't. What they *should* have done was write a
script which copies the current library path into a new variable, changes
it, runs the install/office-suite ; changes it back. Any flaws in my
logic? If not, try it out.
