I tried installing emulator/suse1000_base and emulator/suse1000_x11 from pkgsrc-current, then I downloaded openoffice-ppc-1.1.2 i think. Ran the installer (./setup) and get

XIO: fatal IO error 22 (Invalid argument) on X server":0.0" 
     after 1675 requests (1673 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
glibc version: 2.3.5

Perhaps I shouldn't be using suse10 emulator but suse91 instead? Is there a newer version of openoffice-ppc than 1.1.2 ?
