    That page refers to StarDivion's StarOffice 5.1, not (what appears
to be) the slightly tweaked/updated version that Sun is now
distributing for free at http://www.sun.com/staroffice/.  They mention
tarballs of sizes 72192512 bytes or 74072576 bytes.  The current
version is 70393856 bytes.

    For one thing, the page references an older version of the
libsvt516li.so library.  Those libraries are now numbered "517".  You
can install the old library anyway, but it doesn't help.  Running
the soffice startup script (even after you fix the location of
/bin/test) simply brings up the setup dialog again.  This happens
whether instdb.ins contains "mode=STANDALONE" or "mode=NETWORK", and
for any reasonable value of .sversionrc.

    So, once again ;-), has anyone been able to get Sun's StarOffice
5.1 to run properly on a 4.0-current (as of July 31) system?
