I guess the next time Steve Kuie will first listen to the people, then blame the OpenOffice.org! Yes OO is not documented as it has to be, but there are some nice tips on the net if one wants to do his best to install and work with OO. Here is one related to the Debian:
http://www.linuxtoday.org/news_story.php3?ltsn=2001-10-10-014-20-PS-DB-HL I don't know why OO depends so tight on libgpcl0 (non-free general polygon clipper library found in testing & unstable) and the the fact that it is packaged separately and not get install on a regular debian system by default is a little problem. And when the people see OO setup report that glibc-2.2.4 are fould on that system and brake then the easyest way is to blame libc or OO instead of trying to find what is going on with some toolz like ldd, strace, etc. It is always much much easier to bother the upstream developers. Sorry for being so bad bad boy Hope you enjoy the work with OO! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Buy the perfect holiday gifts at Yahoo!
