I'm trying to install OpenOffice 1.1 under Mandrake 8.0.

I'll cut a long story short and just say that I've figured out that I need 
to install FreeType2 in order to be able to successfully install OpenOffice.

Can anybody provide a procedure (for dummies!) for installing FreeType2, 
and then removing any traces of older versions of FreeType? I've tried 
following the instructions in the README file (included in the FreeType 
tarball), but that hasn't helped at all.

Thanks in advance
