Guest mkbiyer Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 Having taken a look at XD2 on RH 9.0 and getting sufficiently excited about the Ximianised version of OpenOffice, I wanted to get Ximian's OO.o running on my regular Mandrake 9.1 With a rather brave heart, this is what I did : Dowloaded the following RH 9.0 RPMs from Ximian : ooo1.1-1.1-0.ximian.6.2 libgnomecups-0.1.4-0.ximian.6.2 Installed libgnomecups with nodeps since it keep cribbing about missing gnome-cups-manager which I couldnt find anywhere for MDK 9.1. Then installed the ooo1.1-1.1-0.ximian.6.2 rpm again with nodeps On trying to start ooffice there were errors with the following libs not being found : libssl.so.4 libcrypto.so.4 libstdc++.so.3 Again with a rather brave heart I symlinked the following in /usr/lib : libssl.so.4 -> /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7 libcrypto.so.4 -> /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7 libstdc++.so.3 -> /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.3 And then started ooffice again !!! It worked !!! Yes ... It worked. My MDK 9.1 installation had CUPS neatly configured & OpenOffice reads & uses it like a charm (I also had an existing OO.o 1.1 RC installed - downloaded from the OpenOffice.org site) For now I have no idea how much this is going to screw my system, but, I does work real good & hvnt come across issues thus far !
