Open Office on slack 13


I downloaded and extracted office slackbuild. Then tried to run openoffice.org.SlackBuild as root within the /tmp directory. Can anyone help?

Code:
siawacsh@zorro:~/Downloads/office/openoffice.org$ ls 
OOo_3.2.0_LinuxX86-64_install_wJRE_en-US.tar.gz  README  doinst.sh  openoffice.org.SlackBuild*  openoffice.org.info  slack-desc
siawacsh@zorro:~/Downloads/office/openoffice.org$ su 
Password: 
root@zorro:/home/siawacsh/Downloads/office/openoffice.org# ./openoffice.org.SlackBuild
tar: /home/siawacsh/Downloads/office/openoffice.org/OOo_3.2.0_LinuxIntel_install_en-US.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
./openoffice.org.SlackBuild: line 90: SOURCEDIR: unbound variable
root@zorro:/home/siawacsh/Downloads/office/openoffice.org#

You have downloaded "OOo_3.2.0_LinuxX86-64_install_wJRE_en-US.tar.gz" however the slackbuild is looking for OOo_3.2.0_LinuxIntel_install_en-US.tar.gz. did you download the installation from the slackbuild page? The one you have is with java runtime.

You can also download, install the package from Robby's site:

http://rlworkman.net/pkgs/13.0/x86_6...6_64-1_rlw.tgz

# installpkg packagename

Robby's Slackware packages are excellent.
