And this I don't understand at all. I will admit that I don't build nor use OpenOffice. However, it just seems to me that this is a package that won't run in a text console. But according to the dependencies listed in the BLFS book, somehow or another you can install OpenOffice without X being installed. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 20:09:02 up 85 days, 5:33, 3 users, load average: 2.08, 1.64, 1.21 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
