I wouldn't personally know, as I've never installed any version of it. I |
| 12 |
do have kspread installed as I needed it to view an MS Excel file awhile |
| 13 |
back, but that's about it. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
If I was still running multilib and I needed OOo, I'd probably merge the |
| 16 |
32-bit precompiled, just because I don't consider it worth the trouble, |
| 17 |
here. However, since I'm running no-multilib now (and haven't regretted |
| 18 |
it yet, rather the opposite as it's less hassle AND less compile time on |
| 19 |
gcc and glibc, among others) and as AFAIK there's no 64-bit precompiled |
| 20 |
version. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
But since OOo is GTK based and I'm a KDE (3.x, so far) guy, I'd certainly |
| 23 |
try koffice or its individual components (such as the kspread I already |
| 24 |
have merged) first. I have GTK installed, but only for pan and now |
| 25 |
firefox, and every once in awhile, I consider switching off of pan and |
| 26 |
back to konqueror exclusively, and killing GTK on my box. But I haven't |
| 27 |
yet. |
