It appears that your difficulties are a failure to understand our
directions so I will attempt to make this as simple as possible:
1. Open FireFox (if you don't have this program download and install
it from Mozilla.org.) Safari has a known problem downloading files
from a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server.
Just replace the ftp:// with http:// and you have a reliable download
url.
http://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/MacOSX/2.4.1rc2_20080614/
2. Type in the address given in the original reply in the address
field. Copy/paste works as well.
3. If you are redirected to the top level directory as you were
before, select the file with PowerPC (PPC) and en_US in the name.
4. These packages are over 150MB in size and take about one hour to
download over a 1MB connection.
Hi Eric,
Thanks for the response. Sigh, I'm still having problem. When I
click on the URL you mentioned, I get redirected to a page whose
title
is:
Index of
ftp://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/MacOSX/2.4.1rc2_20080614/
and is a long list of files to download.
I'm not sure which one to pick. I picked one, I don't remember which
one, and made the change you gave below. The resultant file started
successfully, but stayed with the OpenOffice version of a spinning
disk for several minutes. I had to force-quit the application.
Could
you please do one of the following:
1. provide me with more explicit instructions.
See above.
2.. mail me an updated version of main.scpt. I think I may be doing
the edit incorrectly. I'll also need explicit directions of how to
make the main.scpt change.
Shaun will have to do this.
1. Select the OpenOffice.org 2.4 icon in your Applications folder.
2. Control + click the icon and choose "Show Package Contents"
3. Open "Contents" > "Resources" > "Scripts" > main.scpt
4. This is probably the hardest bit. Fin the line
on openSoffice(aFile)
Replace from that line down to end openSoffice with the code that is
on the blog post.
5. Start OpenOffice.org by double clicking the icon in the
Applications folder.
Hope this helps/
Shaun
3. mail me an updated version of openoffice.
No, no and further no. Your ISP will choke on this file.
4. post an updated version of openoffice on a website where I could
retrieve it.
good-day.net is hosted on a very good connection and a very good
server. These files may also exist on other 'mirror' sites.
Of course, you may think of other solutions beyond those listed
above, e.g. if openoffice3.0-eng-us is real close, I can wait for it.
Release is soon on OpenOffice 3.0. You can try the latest beta for
it and let us know if you have problems. This release is NOT for
production use, however.
Thanks much for all your help!
Cheers!
Dave
