I've been running OOo 1.0.2 on Red Hat 7.2 without problems. Tried to upgrade to OOo 1.1 RC, and ran into compatibility problems with my current 2.0.3 version of freetype. Seems OOo =>1.1 will require freetype >= 2.0.6. I found some freetype 2.0.9 RPMs, but am having the usual dependency domino effect. Question: any OOo users out there using 1.1 with an opinion whether upgrading is worth it under my circumstnces?


I guess you know about apt-get and apt-rpm for solving dependencies?

Not well enough. I installed apt-rpm and used it successfully once, but have never been able to figure out how to use it again. What's a good net reference. The site where I downloaded it was very confusing.
