I also got hit with this when I tried installing staroffice.
Here is a tried-and-tested way of installing staroffice on your linux
machine in
a normal, unix-like way:
1. su to root
2. run the installation with the -net option, and install in (say)
/opt/staroffice6.0

Ilya,
It's too late to put it in right now - the release deadline if I'm not
mistaken is around March (at least Sun will release it as "Star Office

This is all a bit odd. I installed SO5.2 way back from the SuSE 7.1 distro
(which put it in /opt). I had no trouble bringing it it up subsequently, under
both my superuser and regular accounts. It works like a charm. (Well, it aint
exactly a winner for speed, but it gets the job done.) Maybe yo

I found and downloaded the full PDF StarOffice Setup Guide. The
initial setup looks exactly right, but the user setup just does
not give me the right dialogues. And there is no bin subdirectory
in the installation tree - only programs... Time to go to Sun support
forum? Sigh...

Err... I thought Sun did UNIX... Apparently, as Geoff Mendelson
pointed out to me on a few occasions, Sun is a *hardware* company.

hi, Star Office a.f.a.i.k. is Sun's distribution.
so the best way is to go to www.sun.com and navigate.
it is not distributed as RPM, but a regular compressed elf binary:
*.bin, you simply can read the instructions in sun's site.
besides, there's other wing of star office named "Open Office",
