Brian,
Yes, I installed the binary, using:
sudo dpkg -i openoffice.org_1.9m97-2_darwin-powerpc.deb
Notes:
1. the file name at the end of the command line will depend on
which .deb you download from http://fink.sodan.ecc.u-tokyo.ac.jp/
~asari/OpenOffice.org/.
2. The debs at that location are for OS X 10.3 Panther. I'm not
aware of any ones for Tiger. I tried it on Tiger, and it didn't
install.

Hello Kevin,
Did you install the binary that you downloaded via fink? If not,
how did
you get it to work on Mac?
thanks,
Brian

Well that is really weird. I searched the database and nothing.
When I

Oh well, thanks Alexander. Any idea when the package will go
binary? the
compiling seems to be quite and issue with disc space according to
what
I have seen on posts.
Again, many thanks

Like every other package, this won't go binary until it builds
reliably for most everybody and can be moved to stable.
I believe that openoffice.org should get special treatment. The
build
takes, a very, very long time, and the last time I tried it needed
over 37 GB of disk space (I'm not sure how much disk space it needs -
my build attempt failed when the disk ran out of space). I did
download the binary
from http://fink.sodan.ecc.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~asari/OpenOffice.org/, and
it worked fine. I suspect that many, many more people will be
able to
use the binary than would be able to compile it.
I believe that openoffice.org should be released as a binary now.
