First off, as far as I can remember, compiling OO from source and installing the binary version is not exactly the same. The source one install OO from go-oo.org while the binary package is the normal Sun OO. Another reason is that OO is reputed for having a very complicated build system that takes up a lot of resources to complete. Depending on the hardware you are doing this on "using a binary package that most likely doesn't fit into your otherwise self-compiled system" may not be that idiotic. Regards Dirk
