	Installing this has been painful, but Ken McGlothlen
(mcglk@serv.net) has some some excellent advice at:

	http://www.serv.net/~mcglk/staroffice-install.html

If you are installing from the CD-ROM that you can get from SUN, there are
a few changes necessary:

Stage1: Paving the way for that obnoxious...

Here, you will need to set up a temporary directory (I used
/compat/linux/lib/StarOffice, but something in /tmp would be more
sensible), and cd into it:

	cd /tmp/StarOffice

Then copy the setup.zip file and unzip it - turning the file names all
into lower case:

	cp /cdrom/linux/office51/setup.zip .
	unzip -L setup.zip

(unzip is in the ports collection).  Then proceed as per Ken's
instructions:

	echo "/tmp/StarOffice" >> /compat/linux/etc/ld.so.conf
	/compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig

If you just try to run the "setup" script directly from the CD, it does
the same thing with its own temporary directory in /tmp (uses heaps of
space - you may not want /tmp on the root file system for this), but does
not set up the ld.so.conf file, nor run ldconfig to update ld.so.cache.  
Hence you get an error.
