I think you have the two crossed:
OOo11x installs via the install program.
OOo1.9.m91 comes in rpms and I didn't see an install file.
The instructions that are posted on the web page say, as I recall, to
1. unpack the tgz into a directory.
2. rename or erase those rpms specific to other distros or things that
you don't want, e.g., redhat_menus.rpm .
3. As root,
rpm -Uvih *rpm
4. Install any dictionaries desired.
This worked for me on all the betas I've tried.
I admit that I went round in circles looking for how to install the
betas, until I found and read the information on the download page.
Well, sort of, but Pavel's runs the rpms, I think.
