This is the root users job then, and he/she is neglecting that responsibility. Find that person and ask that they first update the system and then install the stuff you need, like OOo direct from www.openoffice.org. Here, I only build when the rpm packaging system fails me. 2 applications in particular, amanda, the backup utility, and kernels. Currently running 2.6.31-rc8, rc9 is broken on my hardware. I had forgotten that root detail, mainly because I run as root here and thewre are no other flesh and blood users. I do delegate many of the machines jobs to other users crontabs though. That leaves me more time to play. :) >--------------------------------------------------------------------- >To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org >For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
