Install Star Office 5.2 on slackware 12.1
I am trying to install Star Office 5.2 on Slackware 12.1 and I fail. When I execute the setup file nothing really happens:
Code:
bash-3.1# ./setup /net |
I thought StarOffice 5.2 came out around the same time as OpenOffice 1.0; in fact isn't it the same thing?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StarOffice Not that it's answering your question, and if you want to install SO 5.2 for some reason I hope someone can help you find out what's wrong, but why not just use the latest OO? |
Star Office was also a collaboation program, not just word processor / spread sheet / other office-style software. It also has a callendar, scheduling, tasks, and alot more. These things were taken out of Open Office. I wish it were as simple as swithing to OO.
Also on another note (a crappy one at that) OO does not support sdw (Star Office Document Writer) formatted files despite the fact that OO came from SO. |
Version 5.2 , already old in year 2004 ?
Try this : # ./setup I don't know version 5.2, have a copy of 5.1 saying : No X protocol ....... Could be, it will run on Slackware 8.1 ? ? Version 6.0 will work on Slackware 12.1 , but may be the ancient tools from 5.2 have been left out. ( My copy of 6.0 is from March 2003.) Version 8 used to be free to download http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/200...taroffice.html ..... |
