I need to install OOo 2.3.1 under Fedora 6.

I followed the directions (which were easy to follow) and when I ran
soffice:

no suitable windowing system can be found

To fix this selinux problem I executed:

> chcon -t textrel_shlib_t libvclplug_gen680li.so.1.1

in /opt/openoffice.org2.3/program

or you can just execute:

> chcon -t
textrel_shlib_t /opt/openoffice.org2.3/program/libvclplug_gen680li.so.1.1

OOo runs just fine. When I had installed 2.2 on my own, there was a
problem with fonts - the fonts only worked correctly from root.
