CentOS 5 is now EOL, even its maintenance updates ended on 31 March 2017. I think we have to move to CentOS 6.
I made GIO the default VFS searched by configure instead of GnomeVFS, as that's what everybody has been using for years; AOO is pretty much the only application still pulling in that ancient package with who knows what security issues. It was done in this commit: r1812655 | damjan | 2017-10-19 18:35:49 +0200 (Thu, 19 Oct 2017) | 6 lines Changed paths: M /openoffice/trunk/main/configure.ac GnomeVFS was deprecated 9 years ago. Make GIO, its replacement, the default searched by configure.ac instead. ---- If we really need GnomeVFS back, we can revert that commit, or use ./configure switches to favor GnomeVFS over GIO.
