I > run KDE. I assume that "install under X" means to run in a terminal (are Yes, that's the same. KDE is only a program (a Desktop) running _under_ X. (X is the graphical system/interface all programs with graphics use). > KDE terminals and Xterminals the same? I assume so.) Was it wrong for me Yes. You hae to install X under a terminal. be sure the DISPLAY variable is set, try typing "echo $DISPLAY": alex:~ $ echo $DISPLAY :0.0 if this is the case, you're intalling under X. if not, and you're using it from a terminal, you should type "export DISPLAY=:0.0" > Do I need to a) make install as root (redoing the installation, but using a > terminal) or b) do I need to make install (again) under a user account yes, as root, in a terminal. after that, you have to install-user the thing as the user who wants to use staroffice. for me that's alex. I ma(k)de install-user as alex, and not as root. You have to do that for every account who wants to use staroffice, even root (but you really shouldn't use staroffice as root) If staroffice is already installed (don't think so), try make deinstall and start from scratch. a) make install as user root in a terminal b) make install-user as the user in a terminal Alex -- I need a new ~/.sig.
