+This file provides basic instructions for installing the patched file
"libtl.so" into your existing Apache OpenOffice installation. You will need to
do this replacement using a console (terminal) window and will likely need to
use "root" (administrator) access to your system.
-2. Locate where Apache OpenOffic is installed on your system.
- a)If you already know where Apache OpenOffice is located on your
system, navigate
- to that directory. Example: "cd /opt/openoffice4".
- b) If you do not know where Apache OpenOffice is located on your
system, you
- can use your package manager to find this, or use the "locate" comand
to find the location.
- Example: "locate openoffice".
+0. Make sure OpenOffice is not being used.
- The locate command may produce a lot of output but at some point you
should see
- the actual location on your system where Apache OpenOffice is
installed.
- Navigate to that location.
+1. Open a console window and login as root with the following command:
-3. Navigate to the "program" subdirectory of your Apache OpenOffice
installation
- area.
- For illustration, let's assume /opt/openoffice4 is the directory
location of
- OpenOffice. Navigate to the "program" subdirectory.
- Command: cd /opt/openoffice4"program"
+ $ su -
-4. List the files in the Apache OpenOffice program subdirectory.
- Command: "ls"
+2. Locate where Apache OpenOffice is installed on your system:
+ a) If you already know where Apache OpenOffice is located on your
system, navigate
+ to that directory. Example:
- You should see a file called "libtl.so".
+ $ cd /opt/openoffice4
-5. Make a backup of the existing libtl.so by renaming it.
- You can leave this renamed libtl.so where it is if you like.
- Command: "mv libtl.so libtl.so.orig"
+ b) If you do not know this, you can use your package manager (e.g.,
RPM) to find
+ this, or use the "locate" command. Examples:
-6. Save the libtl.so provided in this area to your Apache OpenOffice program
folder.
+ $ rpm -ql openoffice-core04-4.1.2-9782.x86_64 | grep libtl.so
+ $ locate openoffice | grep program
- You should download the libtl.so provided here as a non-root user. Then
using
- your root console window already open, copy it from the downloaded
location to
- the Apache OpenOffice program folder.
+ The commands show you the "program" sub-directory where Apache
OpenOffice is
+ installed.
- Examples: User jane downloaded libtl.so from her browser window and
saved it in
- a folder called "Downloads". The full path to Jane's Download area is:
- /home/jane/Downloads.
+ For illustration, let's assume "/opt/openoffice4" is the directory
location of
+ OpenOffice. Navigate to the "program" sub-directory:
- Still in the root console window in the Apache OpenOffice "program"
folder,
- use the following command:
+3. Navigate to the "program" sub-directory of your Apache OpenOffice
installation:
- Command: cp /home/jane/Downloads/libtl.so .
- the last part of this command is a dot (.)
+ $ cd /opt/openoffice4/program
-7. Verify that the libtl.so got placed in the "program" directory.
+4. List the files in the Apache OpenOffice program sub-directory:
- Command: ls -al
+ $ ls
- This will allow you to verify permission settings on the new file. If
it is NOT
- set as "-r--r--r-- 1 root root", go to Step 8.
+ You should see a file listed as "libtl.so".
-8. Fix ownership and permissions if needed.
- To correct the ownership/ permission settings on the new libtl.so, do
the
- following still in the command window as root in
/opt/openoffice4/program:
+5. Make a backup of the existing file by renaming it.
+ You can leave this where it is if you like:
- Command: chown root:root libtl.so
- Command: chmod 755 libtl.so
+ $ mv libtl.so libtl.so.org
-9. Start Apache OpenOffice as your normally would as a non-priviledged user.
+6. Copy the new "libtl.so" provided by this hotfix to the "program"
sub-directory.
+ Use your download folder with the saved and extraced ZIP file to copy
it to the
+ "program" sub-directory. Use the following command to copy the file:
+ $ cp -p /home/jane/Downloads/libtl.so .
+ (the last dot "." is an abbreviation for the current directory)
+7. Verify that the "libtl.so" got placed in the "program" sub-directory.
+ $ ls -al
+ This will allow you to verify permission settings on the new file.
-
+ Important:
+ If it is NOT listed as "-r--r--r-- 1 root root", go to Step 8.
+8. Change file ownership and permissions.
+ To correct the ownership and permission settings on the new "libtl.so",
execute both
+ commands still in the console window as root in the "program"
sub-directory:
+ $ chown root:root libtl.so
+ $ chmod 444 libtl.so
+9. Now the patch work is done and you can exit the console window:
+ $ exit
-
+10. Start Apache OpenOffice as you normally would as a non-privileged user.
