Subject: Latest Open Office install
Hi, Art--
I sent a message to the mailing list, but have gotten no answer.
I haven't found any thread started by you on this subject.
I downloaded OO, in a compacted file--
Apache...x86_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz
I had never seen an rpm packaged inside a tar file before, but
I unzipped it, and now I have rpms all over the place, as well as
a directory of Apache advertising.
If you downloaded from http://www.openoffice.org/download then there is
no advertising at all, this must be the readme and license.
Is there any way to simply install this thing? I never had this
problem when I downloaded it many months ago, but now I
want to put it on another machine, and I have this mess.
It depends on the Linux distribution you are using. I assume you are not
using Ubuntu or any other distro using DEBs, as you downloaded RPMs.
Some Linux distro require manual tweaking, so please let us know the
distro you are using.
Regards
I was not aware that PCLOS seems to have OO in the repos now--
it is called ooobasis* so I will try and delete all the stuff that I
downloaded
from Apache and try and install this and see what happens.
I will report back.
