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 (N.B. Ignore any components the installation fails to register) 3. Exit from root 4. Now that you're yourself again, edit the .sversionrc file in your home directory and REMOVE ALL MENTION of the version you are trying to install (aha!) Rename your staroffice6.0 subdirectory to eatmyshorts6.0 if it exists. 5. Now do a "workstation" installation: > cd /opt/staroffice6.0/program > setup (answer all the questions truthfully, please) 6. After the setup completes, logout and login again. The staroffice components will be visible under kde->personal->staroffice6.0 Good Luck - and enjoy the product! -- ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
