Should I use a pre-built package or build OpenOffice myself?

Just wondering... is there any difference between installing the pre-built package and building it yourself?

If you like investigating software, then build it yourself - that is NOT a trivial task. If you wish to do some work using the tool, use a prebuilt version.
