Yull,
I'll assume you are having trouble installing SO4. If your looking for
it, see www.stardivision.com, otherwise follow instructions below.
If you are getting "can't load library 'libXt.so.6' ", then see additional
notes in section 1.
See Henrik, somebody _was_ 'listening'.
>From a prior post via Henrik Edlund, via Christian Gafton from Red Hat.
I made a small edit in the botton of section 1. After a few attempts and
failing, I finally understood what was assumed/not stated.
-------- begin of prior post ------------
This is the help text Christian Gafton from Red Hat has written. I have
done like this and it works very well. Here we go:
---------- forward ----------
If you want to install StarOffice on your 5.0 there is no need to
mess up your whole system with a libc upgrade.
As simple as it gets:
I. As root, from an xterm:
1. get the libc-5.4.44-bin.tar.gz from sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/GCC.
Unpack it and retain the libc.so.5.4.44 and libm.so.5.0.9. Have the so4
installation files ready.
---- begin additional notes -------
Don't install 5.4.44! Unpack into a temporary directory and then
move per instructions below.
I made the mistake of installing the RPM of 5.4.44 and wondering
why Netscape would no longer run and SO4 would not install. If
you follow SO4's instructions and installed a libc >= 5.4.22(like me),
then here is how I fixed it. I downloaded and forced a downgrade
to libc-5.3.12.24 via 'rpm -U --force libc-5.3.12-24.i386.rpm' and
voila both worked!!
If the forced downgrade was a bad thing to do and I got
lucky, please speak up.
-------end additional notes ---------
2. Prepare to install:
mkdir /tmp/tmplib
cp libc.so.5.4.44 libm.so.5.0.9 /tmp/tmplib
ln -s libc.so.5.4.44 /tmp/tmplib/libc.so.5
ln -s libm.so.5.0.9 /tmp/tmplib/libm.so.5
3. Install StarOffice:
cd <your SO4 dir>
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/tmp/tmplib ./setup /net
4. Let's say you have installed it in the /opt/Office40. Time to "fix" the
installation:
cd /opt/Office40
cp -a /tmp/tmplib/* lib
cd bin ; rm -f setup
ln -sf /opt/Office40/bin/soffice setup
5. Clean up:
rm -rf /tmp/tmplib
II. As your user account:
1. Install Staroffice for your use. From an Xterm do:
/opt/Office40/bin/setup
and choose the network install.
Evetually add /opt/Office40/bin to your path or do some symlinks to the
soffice script from one of your favorite bin directories ($HOME/bin will
do). This is left as an exercise to the reader.
Congrats, SO4 is now installed. No need to mess your system with beta
libc versions.
I hope this helps,
Cristian
