Installing Openoffice 2 [solved]

[Kowash]

Hi

 

Could be a mistake I made. Just want someone to help me find the problem. I have struggled for more than 2 hours. I feel like a shrimp in a diner. I am loosing my shell!!!!!!

 

I followed the instructions on the following page after I installed JAVA. http://download.openoffice.org/2.0.0/instructions.html#linux. I used the RPM installation instructions.

 

After I followed the instructions and only completed a installation in the Konsole, I tried again cause there is still not a openoffice in my menu, even if I restart. This is what happened. Am I missing something. The script of the installation instructions is below

 

[root@localhost ~]# cd /root/OOo_2.0.0_LinuxIntel_install/RPMS

[root@localhost RPMS]# rpm -Uvih *rpm

Linux RPM-based Installation

Prerequisites

 

If you want Java integration, you want to make sure you have the latest JRE installed. It should be at least JRE 1.4. You can find the JRE for Linux at the Java JRE for Linux download site. Alternatively, it might be included on the installation media of your distro as part of a complete Java development environment.

Installation Steps

 

1. Unpack the downloaded image into a directory. For example, currently, the following command would unpack into the current directory:

2. tar xvzf OOo_2.0.0_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz

3. Su to root, if necessary.

4. cd into the directory with the unpacked image. This could be RPMS.

5. Delete any rpm files that do not apply to your system. For example, on a Fedora Core 3 system, delete any rpms specific to another distribution such as openofficeorg-suse-menus-1.9.79-1.noarch.rpm.

6. Then execute rpm -Uvih *rpm.
