10 By the way, you might want to check the locations of libraries. Openoffice-bin
11 does not satisfy the dependency for the db library. It namely is outside the
12 library search path (and it should be). You might want to use ld.so.conf with
13 the rpath attribute of the binary to determine which libraries to consider.
