Having used Open Office 1.9.x on the XP side of my box, I decided to install it on the CentOS side. (The default OO was 1.1.2, for heaven's sake!) I downloaded the Linux 386 version from the OO site.
I immediately ran into problems--
- The installation instructions were for OO 1.x.
- The download appears to be source RPMs.
Although I've used UNIX & Linux for over 15 years, there are still some empty spots in my toolbox--and dealing with RPMs in one of them. (YUM is SO much nicer!)
Yup, but "rpmbuild --rebuild <path_to_src.rpm>" isn't too bad unless you get into dependency hell. I usually put the RPMS in a local repo and use yum to install.
Has anyone added OO1.9.113 to CentOS?
Well, I see FC4 updates is at openoffice.org-1.9.112-1.1.0.fc4.src.rpm
Rawhide/development has openoffice.org-1.9.116-3.2.0.fc5.src.rpm
Will give a CentOS 4 build of .112 a shot if the DL ever finishes.
Where can I find info on what I need to do to get OO1.9.x added to my CentOS installation?
Any luck with smart?
