Open Office 1.0.1 - Mandrake 8.2

I know i have been getting alot of problems (look at the Linux - Newbie section under the thread 'I'm in trouble')
but i need this to do some work..i'm trying to install the latest version of Open Office, when i click on the install executable all that happens is the bar loads a bit then disappears..running it from command gets this output..

Code:

[gt@localhost install]$ ./install

Installation starting, please be patient ...

glibc version: 2.2.4



Initializing installation program..........

/tmp/sv001.tmp/setup.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libcomphelp2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

ln: `/usr/local/bin/swriter': File exists

ln: `/usr/local/bin/scalc': File exists

ln: `/usr/local/bin/sdraw': File exists

ln: `/usr/local/bin/simpress': File exists

ln: `/usr/local/bin/smath': File exists

ln: `/usr/local/bin/spadmin': File exists



Installation Completed

I don't know if i need to install any other packages, but if i do it would be helpful if you could tell me them..

Hello,
If you do a

locate libcomphelp2

does it return anything?

The other errors are simply saying that you can't create symbolic links to
/usr/local/bin/blah because that file already exists. This means to me that
some part of the installation (either yours or maybe the default from
Mandrake) has already occured.
So, try to run

/usr/local/bin/spadmin

from the command line. If there are any errors, post them.
if no errors, try

/usr/local/bin/soffice

If no errors, you've already got it installed and should be good to go. . .
If errors, post the result of:

ls -l /usr/local/bin/spadmin

libcomphelp2 doesn't return anything....

Code:

[gt@localhost gt]$ /usr/local/bin/spadmin

bash: /usr/local/bin/spadmin: No such file or directory

Could the installer or package be corrupted ? I have downloaed it twice @ 56k but i leave it overnight :D

search in rpmfind.net libcomhelp.so and it will give you the rpm you need.

To check the file, go to:

http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/s...1/md5sums.html

And compare the MD5 sum posted there to that of your file:

md5sum openoffice_install_filename
(OOo_1.0.1_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz)

man md5sum

yeh i tried that aizkorri but the file was in a 40>mb rpm...and both files i have downloaded have different md5sums then the one on the site (i always check md5sums) and i couldn't be bothered downloading it again hehe...

Maybe i might have more success with 1.0 because i installed 1.0 on MDK 8.2 with no problem before, but now when i try installing 1.0.1 i get a whole bunch of errors...

In the install directory, try running ./setup instead of ./install

Ok i will try that, but now i think its a corrupted download, because the first time i downloaded it and extracted it , it said Xmb of 12mb (being extracted) on the second time i downloaded it and tried extracting it it said Xmb of 45mb (being extracted) and the file is 70mb...so it should be Xmb of 70mb being extracted, shouldn't it ?

Code:

[root@localhost install]# ./setup

glibc version: 2.2.4

/tmp/sv001.tmp/setup.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libcomphelp2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Just in case you wanted to know....

Hmmmm got this from untarring on the command line....

Code:

tar: Skipping to next header

tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers



gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated

tar: Child returned status 1

tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Knew it was corrupted...hmm gues i'll download it AGAIN...hmmm 2 corrupted downloads...might go with 1.0 to be on the safe side.....

Yeah, you've got a bad tarball. Or you've got other problems.

do a:

df

and post the output.

Well, your disk space is fine.

I'm confused as to why you're having so many problems downloading the
file. If you have a problem with acquiring 1.0, let me know and I'll find some
place to set up a clean package for you to download.

Thanks moses, i will try download 1.0 tonight, but since i'm going to Queensland for one week (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...threadid=31847) i might not be able to post up if it works or not till around next Saturday...

But thanks anyway..

It's getting corrupted somehow.....
