I have reviewed the bug list at OpenOffice.org, and some users (like myself) 
cannot get the setup file to execute properly on OO638c or SO6 beta.  From: $ 
./setup it returns with this response: $ glibc 2.2.4 and ends.  I currently 
run Mandrake 8.1, KDE 2.2.2, glibc 2.2.4, XFree 4.1.0 with nvidia card and 
drivers.  

I'm wondering if anyone has successfully installed either office package with 
a similar setup.  TIA...
