This OOo for GNU/Linux SPARC is built using OpenJDK on debian/unstable. This is experimental for testing only, so take care. The tar unpacks into a directory which contains the install script and a subdirectory RPMS containg rpm archives. Make a non-root installation into the user's home directory using the install script. Use absolute paths and do NOT run this script as root For example if the unpack DIR is named ~/m29_install: jim@sun:~/m29_install$ ./install /home/jim/m29_install/RPMS /home/jim/OOo Then in this example run ~/m29/opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice To use java features go to menu Tools-Options-Java and press the Add button, then enter the path to the jvm bin - for example in case of /usr/local/bin/gij the path entered will be /usr/local For more information see www.openoffice.org Please report results good or bad to sparcmoz@openoffice.org thanks jim
