Hello
You will want to install from the ports collection. To change to the
directory /usr/ports/editors/staroffice52 (I am assuming you have
version 5.2, if you have version older then that look at staroffice5)
You will need to copy the following files into the directory
/usr/ports/distfiles:
so-5_2-ga-bin-linux-en.bin
109939-03.tar.Z
The second file is a patch which is a 40MB patch file, you can download
it from
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/pds.cgi?ports/editors/staroffice52
This is the best method for installing, It does a lot of the work for
you. You can install it using linux rpm or just the standard routine.
For rpm,
# /compat/linux/bin/bash
# rpm -ivh <the rpm file>
Read the pkg-message files in the staroffice dir.
good luck
