Argh!!! I've been trying to install OpenOffice.org with no success. Let me tell you what I've tried:
I've tried to download it from YDL's FTP site but the setup gude doesn't correspond to the contents of what the installer files should have. It's says to compile it from a ./setup shell script but it really has a ./configure script. I executed to script as the root in Terminal and I entered into grep. It then asked me to give a directory to intall it into. I guessed and created a folder in /usr/lib and called the folder Ooo. I tried getting grep to install the files into the folder I created but It's not accepting it. That was Strike One. Strike Two: I saw in Debian's Mailing Lists that some guy found a website that contained workable installer files for the PPC. He mentioned that it could be downloaded manually or also done by adding the website into the sources.list file. I did it with vi. The source list is deb http://ftp.kulnet.kuleuven.ac.be/pub/mirror/ftp.vpn-junkies.de/openoffice/testing main contrib Unfortunately this did'nt work either. apt-get said this: W: Couldn't stat source package list http://ftp.kulnet.kuleuven.ac.be main/contrib Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.kulnet.kuleuven.ac.be_pub_mirror_ftp.vpn-junkies.de_openoffice_testing_dists_main_contrib_binary-powerpc_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory) I'm really frustrated but I guess that's how it is to work with linux for the first time. I've got Debian Sarge loaded into my Powerbook G3. I really need some help. Thanks -Michael __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
