unexpected results with Linux Intel RPM install, developer snapshot
I installed the Linux RPM pack the was I normally do -- 32 bit version --
but I'm not getting the normal directory structure for the "/program"
directory -- only a bunch of library files. So, no runnable program. Can
someone else try this and see if the results are the same for them. Maybe I
really messed up...I will try installing again.

Oh! Well this explanation certainly helps! Thanks. No wonder. Maybe
something we should make former users aware of too. I, too, usually just do
an install with *.rpm option, but I had some other old rpms in this same
location, so I just tried to pick off the AOO4 ones. But I missed some.
Anyway, all good for now. I am looking forward to some testing now! :)

I couldn't reproduce the problem installing the latest 32-bit RPMs from
http://people.apache.org/~arielch/developer-snapshots/snapshot/linux_x86/Apache_OpenOffice_4.0.0_Linux_x86_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz
but I always install with an explicit prefix, i.e., something like
sudo mkdir -p /opt/openoffice-snapshot/.rpm
sudo rpm -ivh --dbpath /opt/openoffice-snapshot/.rpm --nodeps --prefix
/opt/openoffice-snapshot *.rpm
Anyway, if you install the full set you don't end up with anything in
"/program", right? Otherwise the packaging must be revised.

This should be normal since the 3-layer office is now removed. By
comparison, a 3.4.1 setup would have this structure:
/opt/openoffice-341/
|-- openoffice.org
`-- openoffice.org3
while the OpenOffice 4.x-snapshot setup would only have the
"openoffice4" folder, containing stuff that used to be in other folders
(in my case, "program" has about 400 files in the snapshot, as opposed
to about 30 in 3.4.1).

[top posting -- more information]
Well, it seems I did NOT install all RPMs the first time. RPMs are now a
mix of names starting with "aoobasis4.0" and "openoffice4". Installs of
"aoobasi4.0" caused dumps of libraries to "/program".
Now, since I actually ust installed the "openoffice4" RPMS, "/program" has
normal binaries in it, so I can run AOO 4.0. But...still don't know why
other stuff is in this directory. I can send a full file list if someone is
interested.
