OpenOffice is available for GNU-Darwin-ppc. Just type 'pkg_add -rf openoffice', or get it on hard media. Launch with 'ooffice'.

Additional GNU-Darwin OpenOffice installation notes.

The OpenOffice packages are rather complex, and it appears that there is a bug under certain configurations, which results in an abrupt abort. Here is the workaround.

    su root
    cd /usr/local
    tar -zxf openoffice-1.0.1gd-beta.tgz
    rm ./+*

Of course, you will have to give the correct path for the openoffice package. This also appears to work with the more recent version, which is available online.

pre-Darwin-6/OS 10.2: http://www.gnu-darwin.org/packages/ppc/All/openoffice-1.0.1gd-beta.tgz

Darwin-6/OS 10.2 and above: http://www.gnu-darwin.org/packages/ppc/All/openoffice-1.0.1gd-final-beta.tgz

OpenOffice is not yet available for GNU-Darwin-x86.
