Alex, It comes with its own C-library. It doesn't need to use yours. You put their c-library where they say it should be, modify environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include theirs, add their library directory to ld.do.config, execute `ldconfig` and it will work.
FYI, their library should be in /opt/Office40/lib. I have 5.0, so it's in /opt/Office50/lib. Here is my LD_LIBRARY_PATH (this goes in /etc/profile).
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/usr/lib/:/usr/X11R6/lib:/opt/Office50/lib:/usr/java/lib/i686 LESS=-MM
Admittably this was hard to figure out because the documentation is poor. However, the program itself works very well and allows me to read/write m$garbage.doc files without having to poison my machine with Gates-turds.
Cheers, Dick Johnson ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***** Penguin : Linux version 2.2.3 on an i686 machine (400.59 BogoMips). Warning : It's hard to remain at the trailing edge of technology.
