Ok, I found it.... and tried it.... but it does not work here.... i has been made woth a cooker version of Mandrake, and it's libs and stuff are all advanced. If all goes well, you can probably use the RPM with Mandrake 8.2 ... But I won't promise that :-) I suggest to download the latest binary from openoffice.org, and manually install that. It works at least :-) Do an "./install /net" if you want to use it for several users and don't want to install a separate version in each users $HONE.
The results below is exactly what I got too, except for the libstdc++3.0. Yeah, it sucks... just keep the rpm and who knows :-) Greetings Ralph Seedkum Aladeem wrote: > Ralph, > > I used the www.rpmfind.net site to search for "openoffice". The site kept > timing out today.
