Hi,
Yep, tried them - they don't work either. However, the install did
mention failed dependencies (NSS3, amongst other things). What package
supplies this? Mozilla????
Cheers, Jon.

Sorry - I didn't intend to hijack an earlier thread, stupidly I just

Thanks Jonathan/Dan. I took the RPMs from openoffice.org, and followed
the instructions to the letter:
rpm -ivh *.rpm
Actually before that - I copied the SuSE relevant rpm to the dir with
the other rpms.
This installed everything into /opt/openoffice.org1.9.122 and created
symlinks to /etc/openoffice.org1.9.122. The soffice startup script was
symlinked into /usr/bin. I had no choice in the installation process of
where the stuff was going, or whether I wanted symlinks installed :(
I'm trying to run this under gnome - is this a no-no? I note that root's
window manager is kde - could this be why it works for root and not me?
Also, I have noticed strange behaviour in the terminals which I try to
start openoffice - it's like the environmental variables are getting
screwed up.....? For instance typing ls, now gives me the same "symbol
not found (libnss_ldap.so.2)" error as happens when I try to run soffice.
Why not use the unofficial SuSE rpms ? They should be available from
ftp.suse.com / ../ ../ projects / openoffice.org
