Go to ~/apps/oo_1.0_src/config_office.  There run ./configure.  (The
configure script will put the bootstrap script in ~/apps/oo_1.0_src/
for you.)  This is theory - when I try to build from source on Debian 3.0,
I get a bad interpreter error when I try to run the script.

It's a funny way of doing it - usually the configure script is in the top
level directory of the source code.  The way they have it set up, you have
to cd down into config_office and then cd back up to do the install.  I'm
guessing they didn't just put a symlink in the top level because the code
has to compile on Windows as well as *nix.  (Well, it *should* compile on
*nix.)

Cheers,

James
