I have downloaded StarOffice 4. I have not seen a package to install
this (there is one for StarOffice 3.1).
a) Is there a package somewhere that will install so40sp3_lnx_01.tar.gz
b) If there is not how easy is it to create on like the one for
StarOffice 3.1 (or Netscape 4)? I am interested not just for StarOffice
but for apps we write and need to install/uninstll on our own LAN.
Thanks
Dave
To my knowledge, there is no deb package for installing StarOffice.
What you have to do is to make a directory for it, link to the old
libs it requires, and then run the StarOffice installer after editing the
paths in the install script. Here is what I did:
mkdir /usr/local/StarOffice
mkdir /usr/local/StarOffice/lib
ln -s libc.so.5 libXpm.so.4
ln -s /lib/libc.so.5.4.38 libc.so.5
./Setup
My Setup file looks like this:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/StarOffice/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
cd /mnt/StarOffice/Office40
./setup /net
Hope that this helps. It has worked for me. It works great on Debian
2.0.
