Hi
I downloaded StarOffice 5.2 as one big executable module from Sun's
website. Sun claim that simply running that from the desired
directory will install the product. So I put it on my Linux Mandrake
8.0 on /root/so , made sure I am logged on as root and that the file
is indeed executable and ran it with the following results

so-5_2-ga-bin-linux-en.bin

glibc version: 2.2.2

file not found '/root/so/so-5_2-ga-bin-linux-000.bin'
file not found '/root/so/so-5_2-ga-bin-linux-001.bin'

error: One or more files are missing! Please ensure that all necessary
files are present.

This is a fairly popular package and I am sure most obvious errors
were already kinked out by Sun, so I must be doing something wrong.
Does anybody have any idea
Thanks

It looks as if you downloaded the wrong file. Sun gives you a choice of
either a single huge file, or a series of smaller files to download. I'm
guessing you are running the first in the series of smaller files, and it
wants the other ones.

Just guessing, mind.

Are you sure there is emough Space left on the partition you excute it
from. Probably it tries to extract to the local directory first before
installing in the destination directory.
