I know there used to be problems running the old version of StarOffice
on Redhat because of library version differences.  I haven't had a
chance to download or try the new version 5 of StarOffice yet.
 
I'm not sure it's a glibc/libc (or libc6/libc5) problem since
Redhat has both glibc & libc (both ver 6 & 5) on it's system.
I have the impression it's a problem with different versions
of libc (version 5).  But I could be wrong . . .
