Was just wondering if anyone knows of any third-party RPMs for Open Office 2.0 for CentOS 4? Haven't come up with anything via yum or rpm.pbone.net yet, and would prefer not to go the openoffice.org binary installer route if possible.
Why not use rpms supplied by openoffice.org? The install was flawless and they work fine.
Ah thanks Ralph. I'm downloading the tarball now and had assumed it was some kind of binary installer, not RPMs. Sorry for the noise.
Cheers, Gavin
To upgrade Openoffice.org from 1.1.x to 2.x, I removed openoffice.org with
yum remove openoffice
and then dowloaded and installed the latest Openoffice.org stuff from the OO site itself. The file you download there is a compressed file of rpms. So once I extracted them in a folder (you'll notice a redhat desktop integration rpm in a subfolder there, which you can copy to the folder where you dumped all the rpms), I just did
rpm -ivh openoffice*.rpm
in that folder.
