I updated to OOo 1.1.4 on the latest Fedora Linux platform. The check sum matches. I followed the setup guide as closely as possible. As it insists, I did a multiuser l.l.4 installation, first as root and then as user. All worked well, but on invoking Help, the usual help window appears, blank, except for the following precise message in the right hand pane: The requested document does not exist in the database !! If the directories are not default, I didn't change them. They may be different because the installation was an update.
