|
| Found some nice 1.9.73 debs but have a data corruption problem with

|
| Any pointers please ?
|
| Like the 1.9.73, I'd love to have them installed in the /opt (which I

Hi Bob,
[note that the rpm's come in a tarball.]
I have Openoffice 1.9.79 running smoothly on Sarge: 2.6.8-2-386. I
followed the instructions on the openoffice site. I can't find the exact
URL but here are the instructions I used (n.b. some of the last steps
seem to be outdated. They don't have any effect on the performance of OO).
1.) Download native .rpms
2.) 'tar xzf' to extract RPMS/ subdir; cd RPMS/
3.) Run su to become root and run 'alien -k *.i586.rpm' to produce .deb
packages
4.) Install via 'dpkg -i --force-overwrite *.deb' (--force-overwrite
needed to correct spurious file conflicts in .debs produced by alien)
5.) Edit /opt/openoffice1.9.51/share/config/javavendors.xml to remove
references to IBM and Blackdown vendors
6.) As root, run by hand postinst commands to complete configuration:
# /opt/openoffice1.9.51/program/pkgchk --shared (you get 'pkgchk
done.')
# /opt/openoffice1.9.51/program/configimport --spool (you get success
msgs)
# /opt/openoffice1.9.51/program/update-mime-data "openoffice1.9"
7.) As root, run 'chmod 555 /opt/openoffice1.9.51/program/soffice'
8.) Exit su shell via 'exit'
9.) Run '/opt/openoffice1.9.51/program/soffice'
Enjoy it. It's a great release.
Jonathan
