WRT OOo2 from the openoffice.org site .. it seems to play perfectly well
in my setup.
I removed all openoffice and tomcat RPMS (also any java that I had
installed as it also contains JRE) from CentOS-5 and downloaded the
latest Linux version from the OpenOffice.org website.
I then did this to install it:
1. Untarred the tar file ... it creates a directory full of RPMS.
2. Edit my yum.conf and set gpgcheck=0 ... since OOo does not (for some
unknown reason) sign their RPMS.
3. Change directories to the the RPMS dir and issue this command to
install the RPMS:
yum localinstall *.rpm desktop-integration/openoffice.org-redhat*.rpm
4. Log out and log back in to restart my X server
5. Create any shortcuts I want on my toolbar from the "Applications ->
Office" menu.
So far, it seems to work great.
6. Edited the my /etc/yum.conf to set gpgcheck=1 ... and
exclude=openoffice.org* jre-*
(so as to not accidentally upgrade these accidentally in the future).
So far ... it all works great with build 9161 of version 2.1.1
Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
