Which version of OpenOffice are you running, I have OO 1.0 installed now on a 4.5-stable machine running linux_base 6.1. I have found that all versions of OO up until 1.0 have never installed correctly and have either segfaulted or crapped out during install. > When I run soffice, I get a notice that "the script file is being > read."

Also I usually install OO or SO6 as root doing the following: # ./setup -net I then point my install to /usr/local/openoffice and install everything there. When that is done I go back to my user and cd to the install directory and run bash-2.05a$ ./setup as my user and install the network install which is about 4-5 megs for OO in my home directory /home/useraccount/openoffice. You may want to make some symlinks to each programs to make things easier like: bash-2.05a$ cd /home/useraccount/openoffice bash-2.05a$ ln -s /usr/local/openoffice/program/swriter swriter You can do this for swriter, simpress, scalc, sdraw, etc. Then just add /home/useraccount/openoffice to your path and you can then issue: bash-2.05a$ swriter and it comes up. Anyway hope that helps. OO 1.0 is the only install I have been able to get running so if you are not working with that version I suggest you try it.
