help installing openoffice

[Zak]

I am trying to install OpenOfiice (the one I received from Digit's June issue) on Ubuntu 12.04
but I receive the following error-

configure: error: for rebuilding unowinreg.dll you need the mingw32 C++ compiler.
         Specify mingw32 g++ executable name with --with-mingwin.
         Or use prebuilt one from [url=*tools.openoffice.org/unowinreg_prebuild/680/]Prebuilt unowinreg.dll binaries[/url] and
         put it into external/unowinreg

Please help in a little simple terms as I am a new user to Ubuntu and I find it awesome.

Better directly install from software center/package manager.

Are you sure..?? I'd say instead try Libre Office.
