how to run get-openoffice3
  • Hi, Im sure this must be simple but i cant figure it out, maybe someone can point me in the right direction?

    I have installed get-OpenOffice 3
    #tazpkg get-install get-OpenOffice3 (and tried --forced)

    but tazpkg doesnt then actually GET openoffice... How do I run get-OpenOffice to actually get it?

    thanks

    you need to be root. or check "run installer" and "auto install depends" in tazpkg.
  • ok, yeah I got that far. I realised it was because the url that this file points to does not exist. I have opened the get-openoffice3 file in /usr/bin and changed the WGET link and it is downloading now, hopefully it will will install now!

  • Ok, the get-OpenOffice3 file is out of date with the naming format of the openoffice mirror it attempts to use.

    /usr/bin/get/OpenOffice3 needs changing. The problem is the definition of $SUFFIX

    Line 19 needs changing to

    SUFFIX="Linux_x86_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz";;

    Altenatively, for single use simply change line 29 to point to a location you know works. For the version I have just downloaded that is

    WGET_URL=ftp://ftp.proxad.net/mirrors/ftp.openoffice.org/stable/3.2.1/OOo_3.2.1_Linux_x86_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz

    Many thanks Roob, I had the same problem.
    Then I made a mistake and downloaded and installed the wrong version. (the 64bits).
    Of course this doesn't work.
    I would like to remove it prior to change the line 29 with the correct version this time.
    How to proceed to completly remove it?
    Thanks in advance.
    Didier.

    Thanks to rodrigo here : http://forum.slitaz.org/index.php/discussion/comment/270/#Comment_270
    I succeeded to remove the wrong version of OpenOffice simply by typing:
    ================
    tazpkg remove OpenOffice3
    ================

    And to answer yes to the question

    ================
    Remove OpenOffice3 (3.2.1) ?
    Please confirm uninstallation (y/N) :
    ================

    Didier.
