I did a make clean then make install and it worked. I now see at least one reason why StarOffice ("SO") needs to be installed in a terminal -- the SO install is apparantly a graphical, X-based, Windowed, user-friendly process. There should be a note of this in a convenient place like the README file for the package. Alternatively, perhaps the make file should check that it is running in an Xterminal? I will send an email or PR to the appropriate person/list. I had 2 minor problems: 1) When the graphical screen first came up (while I was still in root -- I had no idea that this was to install SO for the system as a whole) I thought that it was a mistake. I figured that the install was done and it had now proceeded to the user-install part so I exited and logged in as a user and tried to run make install-user. After some thought on why this was not working, I started fresh (root: make clean, make install). 2) SO told me that icons would be added within KDE. They were not. Could this be because KDE is running natively and SO is running under linux emulation?
