[Cooker] Staroffice
I've installed (net install) Staroffice 5.2 on a MDK 7.2. The install /net (as root) worked fine but I cannot do a user-install in my private drive (as myself).What i don't understand is the fact that the README refereces the MAK 6.0 as using the glic 2.0 while the application seems to "struggle" to find it. A quick look in the /etc/ld.so.conf seems to effectively to indicate that the available library is not right /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib I wander if I need to put in the ld.so.conf the /lib directory too or simply put a symbolic to some place or ... Could some one give me some hint(s) ? Tx, Thomas, [tsmets@Calvin tsmets]$ /mnt/cdrom/linux/office52/setup ERROR: setup system check failed: libc.so.6 library not found StarOffice 5.0 uses the new glibc2 (=libc6). The libraries above could not be found. The glibc_inst.tar package includes a README file which describes how to install these libraries. It will be made available on the StarDivision ftp mirror sites in the same directory as the StarOffice installation files. You can try to run setup (and StarOffice) anyway. If it does not work or you experience strange crashes or get unresolved symbol errors we recommend installing the glibc_inst.tar package.

RE: [Cooker] EXporting - importing X-window
But then I gess I need to go in the initlevel system & stop it booting
straight onto X.
Or can I also let X start & then take another shell (via CTRL + ALT + Fkey)
to get it right ?

Re: [Cooker] Sticky bit
I'd like to set my /opt directory as a king of shared environment. I downloaded jdk & jre 1.1.8 / 1.2.2 / 1.3 & set up some script so one could work with the three in different shells whitout too many clashes. Now what I want is to lock the directories so every one can see other's work but cannot overwrite it. I thought doing this would give the answer but it doesn't ! Every action is completed under the "root" account (su). # From /opt doing that would allow every member of the "users" group # to be part of the gid allowed for the files chown -Rv root.users * # # Gives rx access to anyone (only root can modify) # Every one can access in full control every thing it creates (sticke bit) chmod -Rv 6755 * Gives out : mode of jre118/lib/font.properties.ISO8859_15_FDIS changed to 6755 (rwsr-sr-x) For every files # Creating the Src & destination directories. mkdir src mkdir Classes chmod -Rv 6755 * Now I though that as a normal user (su username) : 1. Could create any file I wanted in the ./src & ./Classes without any troubles 2. Would receive the rxw priviledge while others would only get the rx. I doesn't seems to be that. Could one hint to a solution ?
