The upstream build is available on openoffice.org mirrors at contrib/linuxsparc. This contains rpms which can be installed by non-root user in their home directory using rpm with a script in developer/install_srcipts. It was built using java but users can chose to run it without java, losing some features. The build uses upstream sources and does not conform to various packagers' policies. Some hints and a few patches required for a linux sparc build are here http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=38686. There is work in progress to build and run using gcj instead of java. see for example http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=38188 thanks jim -- [email protected] mailing list
