Hello Dave,
My first Linux install was SuSE 7.2 prof and this I installed with the =
Defaults including StarOffice 5.2 ,After the Linux SuSe was loaded I =
clicked on the StarOffice icon and the setup screen opened and I =
accepted the default setting this worked with no problems, I then loaded =
the the Open Office from a Linux cd recomended by Dom and again accepted =
the default setting and again when I clicked the Open Office icon the =
program set its self up with no problems, So I am not sure what your =
problem is Dave but I would have thought that like me you would not have =
had any problems, Will you be going to the next meeting on Sunday ?.
Cheers Mike

  Subject: [Sderby] OpenOffice 1.0

  Hi All
  Can you advise me on this problem-
  I installed OpenOffice successfully under SuSe 7.2. However it won't =
run, simply producing the banner screen when I launch it from KDE.
  If I type soffice into a Terminal window, I get the banner again and a =
message which says something like "X window system does not support LC =
en eur" + a lot of other nonsense. My guess is that it doesnt like the =
fact that I have chosen English as my base language and maybe it can't =
find a euro symbol. Whatever the whole thing aborts.
  Does this mean that I need a more up to date version of XFree86 =
(current version is 4). If so, is there an easy way to do it from KDE or =
SuSe, since I have a copy of 4.1.0 on a cover disk and the instructions =
for use are horrendous.
  Any advice welcomed.
  Cheers Dave C.
