Reminder: I'm running PCLinuxOS-KDE.

I once again extracted the downloaded file "Apache_OpenOffice_incubating_3.4.1_Linux_x86_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz"
which created a tremendous batch of rpms in a subsubdirectory /en-US/RPMS.
From that directory, ran the code:    rpm -Uvh *.rpm
which created a batch of ooo2* files.
I could not extract any /desktop-integration RPMS--even the mandriva one, which I thought would work, since PCLOS is a derivative of Mandriva. Error message was "Can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/_db000 (no such file or directory)"

None of the OpenOffice programs (writer, calc, etc) appear in the PCLOS GUI menu, which they do on this machine. I have looked in Synaptic, and all the files are the same in both machines and listed as installed.

I don't know how to get any of the OO files to appear on the desktop or to run. One of the problems is that I have no idea what the names of the executable files are, or where they are located.

I'm stuck.  Please advise.
