Hello.

"3.1r1 (unstable)" must be a typo?

If you want to use stable, you may install OOo 2.0.1 from Debian
Backports page: http://www.backports.org/; however, 2.0.3 is really
better.

Well, I use Debian testing, Gnome (sometimes KDE, too) and debian OOo
2.0.3 build on PIII450Mhz/256MB with no major problems ...

Once I installed native OOo 2.0.3 rpm's on debian testing using more
or less the same commands - only unpacked the rpm's to a subdir inside
my /home, and not /opt. It worked, except Writer crashed on opening
large MS Word files with no error report. I was too lazy to get into it,
so I just removed them and reinstalled debian 2.0.3 build. You seem to
be more persistent, maybe you'll get it working 100% :-)

You're granted to have dependency problems, when you install developer
builds on sarge (i.e. 3.1).
Last time I tried to install newer versions of applications on it and
fix the dependency problems, I had to reinstall the system...

My suggestion would be upgrading your debian to testing (etch)
- it's quite stable indeed - and install debian 2.0.3 build.
Maybe you'll not get the dependency problems installing developer debs
from ftp, too - don't know, haven't tried.

HTH,

Andrius
