Re: [LI] Staroffice installation

["Aditya Deshpande" <adityad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Kunal
    Even though i have not installed SO recently I do recall that SO
used to give the library not found error if you installed SO 5.0
on RH 6.0. However RH 6.1 does support backward compatiblity.
Alternatively you can download SO 5.1 which installs and runs
fine on RH6.1. SO 5.0  does have a problem with the glibc version
of the libraries.
    Please elaborate a little more regarding Linux Distro version
config etc.

regards
Aditya
