You have to make the quickinstall.tcl executable first (a safety feature so that not everything downloaded can act as a program). Rightclick the file, choose properties etcetc.). You can run it with ./quickinstall.tcl

 

(disclaimer: haven't tried it)

How are you logged in? Did you download the package as root and are you now running as normal user? Download it again as normal user, unpack and try again.

 

Alternatively, open a console, log in as root and type (in the folder the script is in): chmod 777 quickinstall.tcl

I tried a ./quickInstall.tcl and here is the message I got:

 

[root@localhost OOo_toolbar]# ./quickInstall.tcl

couldn't open "~/.sversionrc": no such file or directory

while executing

"open "~/.sversionrc" r"

(procedure "guessOOoDir" line 5)

invoked from within

"guessOOoDir"

(file "./quickInstall.tcl" line 82)

Have you ever started Open Office as root? (open a console, log in as root and type oowriter). Look in /root if there is a .sversionrc (that is a hidden file)

 

Alternatively (and better run quickinstall.tcl as a normal user (look in /home/your name for a .sversionrc. It gets create when you first start OpenOfiice. If you have never run Open Office as root it isn't there.

 

PS. you only nee to run quickinstall.tcl as root if you want to do a systemwide install. Better is it to install it as 'normal' user.

Ok - the .sversionrc file is there. I opened run command and this is what I typed in: /home/wyman/Desktop/OOo_toolbar/quickInstall.tcl. Was this correct?

 

I then opened up OpenOffice again and the icons were the same.

Ok I tried it :)

 

[xxx@localhost OOo_toolbar]$ ./quickInstall.tcl

Found OOo: (/home/xxxxx/.openoffice)

found quickInstall auto-config file

ThemeDir: MyTheme/22x22/

icon-size = (22,22)

num icons: 171

OpenOffice config directory:

/home/xxxxx/.openoffice/user/config/soffice.cfg/

config directory not found, creating

Backing up config dir (soffice.cfg) to:

/home/xxxxx/.openoffice/user/config/soffice.cfg.bak0/

Background Color: (#efefef)

........*..*...*............*...................................................

....................................**..........................................

.

.......... done

[xxxxx@localhost OOo_toolbar]$

 

You should see something like this. Then you know it got installed.

Obviously I'm doing something wrong because I'm not coming up with that. Now I get this.

 

[wyman@localhost OOo_toolbar]$ ./quickInstall.tcl

bash: ./quickInstall.tcl: Permission denied

Have you checked if it's executable. I'm using KDE and for me it looks like this screenshot (uitvoerbaar means executable).

 

Some more tips: If you get an error something like: can't find /usr/bin/tclh it means you have to install the tcl package (tcl is a program the scripts needs) so open a console, login as root and type: urpmi tcl

 

The script didn't work with my OOo 1.1.4 so chances are that you will end up with a program with no icons. :). Nothing lost however, as you can see in the output of the script it made a backup of the previous settings. Just rename the xxxx.bak0 folder (remove the bak0 bit) and you should have your icons back.

 

Good luck.

Ok devries - I started a new session and looks like I was able to get some where. Here's what I got but there's a config error at the bottom:

 

[root@localhost OOo_toolbar]# ./quickInstall.tcl

Found OOo: (/root/.openoffice)

found quickInstall auto-config file

ThemeDir: MyTheme/22x22/

icon-size = (22,22)

num icons: 171

OpenOffice config directory:

/root/.openoffice/user/config/soffice.cfg/

config directory not found, creating

Backing up config dir (soffice.cfg) to:

/root/.openoffice/user/config/soffice.cfg.bak0/

 

Config Error:

unable to guess background color

set guessBG false (in config.tcl)

and set bg <your toolbar color> (in config.tcl)

then rerun script

 

How do I now correct that error?
