Only the gcj in gcc-4.0 can actually build OOo. Otherwise, it would have to be built with a non-free JDK, which would cause a myriad of problems. Alternatively, you could just download your favorite non-free JDK (as long as it is Sun's) and OOo from their home page and install it yourself from the upstream RPMs. -Roberto -- Roberto C.
