Ooohh Shiny!

It took a little bit of massaging but it runs. OpenOffice runs! I had a few problems with some of the settings on Hera that took a bit of digging to fix. When building upstream, its important to note that the RPM macros (mainly %_rpmlock_path) are set inside your local directory (eg. ~/OOoInstall/.RPM_DATABASE/__db.000) or else it will complain about file locks. One thing that I noticed when asking for help, different people will give you different ways of building and installing OpenOffice. This is probably true for many Open Source projects that are as large as OOo.

Behold OpenOffice.org, its all its glory!
