Whats That Grinding Noise?

Turns out building OpenOffice is not the most pleasant adventure. Currently I posed a question on the OpenOffice IRC channel about some odd feedback that I received from the OOo install script. The contents of the output can be seen here. I have a feeling that I probably skipped a step or messed something up somewhere. A fellow that goes by the handle ‘hub’ has been helping me solve the majority of problems, he is a great sport. Thanks hub. In any case, compiling is not a problem anymore.

On another note, this week I’ll have a chance to talk to Chris Tyler, a professor at Seneca College, about his upcoming OpenOffice hacking course. Some of the things that I am doing now might help him create the curriculum for the September semester.
