Lunacy. Redhat 7.2 is very very old. It has loads of security issues. It
has loads of packages which were not available then.

Get the source rpms for those packages from a more recent version of Redhat
and try to compile them. If that does not work, then you are out of luck.
Note that OpenOffice also will not run on Dos 3.0.

Why in the world as a newbie would you have installed Redhat 7.2? I could
imagine someone who tuned up his 7.2 10 years ago and was loath to change
it. But a newbie should not have installed it. Please do yourself a favour,
get a recent version of Linux (eg Fedora Core 5 or Mandriva 2006 or...)
and install it and save yourself a huge amount of grief.
