Greetings,
I tried installing OOo 3.x on an updated Centos 5 desktop (stock OOo 2.x was there), It had the following problems:
- Installation of JRE 1.6.0 step failed citing dependency issues
(relating to JRE 1.4 being required by OOo 2.x and the such)
See http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/JavaOnCentOS
- after installation, It did run as root ok. but as a user keyboard
practically freezes during the first run username entry requiring the process to be killed.
I need OOo3 calc for its solver functionality for staff scheduling.
Any similar experiences? better yet any solutions (a la Go-oo)?
1. Rebuild from Fedora SRPMS. 2. Install Fedora or another distro in a virtual machine. http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/59370 http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/68068 http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/64505
