OK, I just learned it's a good idea to "Reply-All" when responding to 
ensure the list sees replies.  :-)

Glad to test, but a little tip would help.  My other boxes, including 
the one I'm on now, are all running CentOS 5, and the "yum-builddep 
openoffice.org" command returns "no openoffice.org.src".  Is there a 
specific repository I need to point to?

My other box, running Debian Lenny, just finished compiling and 
dev-installing, and LibreOffice comes up just great on it.  Cool beans!  
Thanks to Kohei for the "bin/g pull -r" trick from loroot/ to get 
rawbuild/ on that guy.
