How to Install Openoffice with YUM ?

MarcSant · 07-09-2005, 06:45 PM

I'm trying to install openoffice with this command:

yum install openoffice.org

But, yum can't locate openoffice suite:

I've tried openoffice.org-kde, just openoffice, searching in Google, and, after reading many docs, faqs, tips and tricks from tons of websites and, after near by 6 hours of research, I'm giving up.

This is my yum.conf file:

logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release

[freshrpms]

baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/$releasever/$basearch/freshrpms

Anybody knows How I can install openoffice with yum using Fedora Core 4?

Any Help would very appreciated.

Try this:

yum install openoffice.org.i386
yum install openoffice.org-libs.i386
yum install openoffice.org-i18n.i386
yum install openoffice.org-kde.i386

MarcSant · 07-10-2005, 09:10 AM

No way...

No match for argument: openoffice.org.i386.

Well, I will try to download and install by the old fashion...

If I succeed, I post the results here.

Tks bro for your help!

As jcliburn pointed out, you should run:

yum list openoffice*

OpenOffice is either already installed or there is a problem with how your FC4 repositories are set up. If the later is true, then this is just the first of many problems related to yum that you will run into.

You could also do,

Code:

$yum list | grep -i packagename

jcliburn · 07-10-2005, 02:01 PM

Marc,

I used yum list to show you the components of OOo that are part of a standard install. To obtain them yourself, you'll need to fetch them individually

# yum install openoffice.org-calc openoffice.org-core <and the rest of them...>

You probably don't want to use a wildcard because that would bring down all the language packages, too.

For what it's worth, it looks like you have a nonstandard yum repo list. I don't see any official fedora.redhat repos or mirrors anywhere in your list.
