Installing OpenOffice in Linux
Dear All,


Here is my redhat uname -a and cat /etc/redhat-release output

Linux hpclnpm.com 2.6.18-128.el5 #1 SMP Wed Dec 17 11:42:39 EST 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

2.cat /etc/redhat-release

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3 (Tikanga)

After running all the .rpm's for OpenOffice it does not work at all.

Can anyone guide me for the above stated problem.


Thanks and Regards
Monoj Das

You don't "run" an rpm. How are you trying to install it?

It may be easier to install it using yum if you have a RHN subscription or a similar repository. Something like yum install openoffice would do the trick.

Install Apache OpenOffice 3.4.1 on Fedora 17/16, CentOS/RHEL 6.3
Step 1: use the above link to download tar package. Then extract it using following command
tar -xvf OOo_3.3.0_Linux_x86_install-rpm-wJRE_en-US.tar.gz tar -xvf
Step 2: cd OOO330_m20_native_packed-1_en-US.9567
Step 3: ./setup


Thanks
