-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 OK, You downloaded and unpacked the tar.gz file... there should be several files in the unzipped folder, or not? Well, there is a setup file... sorry, not install... my appologies.
Try a "./setup /net" and the rest should be pretty straight forward. I canot remember if the "/net" funtion is well documented, but it exists from StarOffice, and it still used in the OopenOffice.org. You will have to install this as root. One thing I must add... I had a big problem in the beginning where I could not read the install screen. I found out that this had to do with Abiword (some arial font that was contained in it), and uninstalling it first fixed everything :-) Ok, once installed, let's say in /usr/share/openoffice.org641 (I have no idea what 4.1 version you are referring to?), as a normal user type /usr/share/openoffice.org641/setup and it should install several files into your home directory. There are needed for your personal settings. In the folder created there are shortcuts to openoffice and so on. I think the rest is pretty straight forward. The version I use is : http://sf1.mirror.openoffice.org/641c/install641C_linux_intel.tar.gz but others should work too.
