if the solver function in gnumeric would work
http://projects.gnome.org/gnumeric/doc/sect-advanced-analysis-solver.shtml
I would go with that, ooo3 is not very stable and easy to compile (it
took my last build server about 5 hours) on CentOS and with 5.3 imminent
I would tend to wait as openjdk has been introduced before trying to
compile ooo3
for gnumeric 1.8 you can just add my temporary repo
http://rpm.toshaan.be/repos/el5/x86_64/trpms-1.0-1.el5.x86_64.rpm
please enable rpmforge
If you need gnumeric 1.9, I can help with compiling, but I tend to like
a stable spreadsheet
