I've been trying to install OpenOffice.org 2.0.3 on my Slackware Linux 10.2 computer, but trying to install the RPM packages gives me a weird error. When I try to install all of the packages by running the following command

it gives me this response:

How is it that it can't find /bin/sh? I have the program--I even tried running the command in the sh shell--but it doesn't see it for some reason. I'm logged in as root, so there shouldn't be any permission errors or anything--not that a program like sh would have any anyway--but it still doesn't see it. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

I can't help with the rpm error, but I didn't have any problems using the Slackware OpenOffice 2.0.3 package from http://www.linuxpackages.net/pkg_details.php?id=7951. Unless you need to use rpm for some reason, I recommend the Slackware (not native Slackware, but built for Slackware) package.

Thanks for the Slackware package. I didn't even know that was out there. I was only using the RPMs because that was the only download for Linux available from the OpenOffice.org site.

The rpm error is because the rpm is expecting a different version of /bin/sh.

If you install the rpms using:
rpm -i --no-deps *.rpm

the install should work. Just be sure to install only the one desktop rpm (freedesktop).

Alternatively, you could change all of the rpms to tgz files using 'rpm2tgz'. Note that after installing the tgz the menu shortcuts, and one script file, need to be modified (they use /etc as the install directory instead of /opt).
