--Alt-Boundary-19583.13106888 I noticed that there are no openoffice.org-xxx-2.0.4-5.4.17.2 rpms in Centos 5 update. So I tried to build openoffice 2.0.4-5.4.17.2 (sans language packs) on a x86_64 from RH 5 source rpm. The build bombed after an hour elapsed and it used up about 10 GB of space with an error about missing java.
So I just blew it off, erased the files written by the build and decided to wait until the rpm showed up in the updates. I don't want to repeat that exercise if 2.0.4-5.4.17.2 is destined to show up in the updates.
If not, does anyone have any idea what java it needs (or what changes have be made to the spec file) to successfully build the rpm.
Thanks for any information on this problem.

This may not be the solution you are looking for: I simply deleted the Centos-x86_64-OpenOffice-RPMs from my sytems and installed the precompiled i386-RPMs downloaded form openoffice.org. Works without problems (and I lets face it: 32 bit is sufficient for an office unless you happen to have spreadsheets that are >4Gig)

Just learned that 2.0.4-5.4.17.2 would show up any minute now.

2.0.4-5.4.17.2 is now available from CentOS mirrors.
