Statically compiled...unless its just that I have lesstif installed
that its working, but I believe I read that StarOffice for Linux is compiled
statically so that the requirement for Motif libraries no longer exists...
Motif libraries...another product for a commercial distribution

My motivation towards Star is that its probably about the best
software that I've seen so far, for Unix, that compares with things like
MS Office...again, if we could motivate developers, we might some day even
see competition for Star on the Unix/FreeBSD platform *shrug*
