Build system on the RPMs is reported as up-smb2.germany.sun.com. Now I'm runing these binaries on Fedora Core 3 x86-64 no less. It's a stock x86-64 install, except I do manually swap out Firefox x86-64 for Firefox i386 (so all my i386 plug-ins work). So I'd say if a "plain Jane" Fedora Core 3 install (with limited Fedora Extras / RPM.Livna.ORG packages) work, I don't see why it won't on CentOS 4. > Has anyone added OO1.9.113 to CentOS? I would assume anything that runs on Fedora Core 3 would run on CentOS 4 without issue. CentOS 3 might be an issue though. As far as the source RPMs, maybe those are included because you need to build it from source. It could be a Java Runtime Engine (JRE) requirement that might be taken out of newer builds in favor of a GPL Java stack like GCJ. I'm running Sun JRE 1.5.0_02 (i586 I believe) on my x86-64 system. But the RPMs didn't list them as a dependency. In fact, I want to say it was actually installed with the RPMs. Now thinking back, it might have installed Java with the RPMs in a single ".sh" file download and subsequent run. That might explain it the best, why I had no problems. -- Bryan J.
