[newbie] StarOffice 4.0

1999-08-18 Thread Harry Ellis

I can get a free copy of StarOffice 4.0 on a cd from our library. The book
it comes with suggests it needs linux library version libc 5.4.22 or higher
to 6.x, but EARLIER VERSIONS MUST BE AVAILABLE to StarOffice.
I have installed Venus 6.0. So is the library version I have "backwards
compatible" with StarOffice 4.0, or do I have to download libc 5.4.22 and
make it available to the office suite?

Or should I get a friend to download the new version, which is
unfortunately even larger (I'm running out of space), but presumably
compatible?

Thanks in advance

Harry

You need version 5.1 or greater to run w/ Red Hat 6.0.   Something about
them changing libs and locations of files again.
