Problem installing OpenOffice on slack 12.1 Im a noobie.
Hello. :)
I just installed SlackWare 12.1 and tried installing openoffice 3.0 . I downloaded OOo_3.0.1_LinuxIntel_install_wJRE_en-US.tar.gz from the site and ran into some trouble. tried ./setup as root and got the following: Quote:
ran bash jre-6u13-linux-i586.bin and all was well and it said done. tried ./setup -j /usr/local/java/jre1.6.0_13/bin/java and got the following in the console: Quote:
the following output came to the console: Quote:
what am I doing wrong? I need openoffice to view/edit *.docx files I wrote in class using MS office 2007. |
It does not work, because OO comes in rpm packages. That's why the setup program complains. One way to install OO is to use rpm2tgz to convert rpms to Slackware pagkages, but it's more easier to use a slackbuild. Read this about installing software using slackbuilds

Thank you for your help.
I managed to install OpenOffice, although I had to format and reinstall SlackWare in the process... such a noobie I am... I see now that OpenOffice can't read *.docx files. What a shame. Ill have to convert all of them to *.doc . never the less thank you again for the help. |
