http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/sys_reqs_aoo34.html where it says gnome is required is wrong? IOW, it should just say libgtk2? > What desktop environment do you have? My os is ubuntu 10.04 LTS. However, it appears I've also got gnome because on my panel, when I select System, it shows an "About Gnome" item. What's confusing is that synaptic shows gnome is not installed. > You > don't need to install gnome, and sure you have gtk2 libraries already > installed ;) Yep, synaptic shows several packages installed with names starting with libgtk2, in particular it shows: libgtk2.0-dev libgtk2.0-bin Is that enough?
