It's been VERY frustrating, to say the least! :-( This also happens with SOT Office, which is derived from the OpenOffice.org code. There is an RPM, but it will only install the distribution package, requiring you to still run the setup script and watch your system freeze. :-( On Wed, 2002-05-

Yes, it's always at the same point, when it's registering components. Then, it will freeze the entire system. On Thu, 2002-05-02 at 09:57, Jeremy Hogan wrote: > For those who are freezing during install, is it at the same point? (ie > *every* time it freezes it's during registering components?

Didn't work for me either. I guess I'll just have to wait until someone makes some RPM's or something, but it is quite disappointing. -Brandon On Wed, 2002-05-01 at 21:43, Brian Wright wrote: > Unfortuneately, that didn't help me. :-( I did ./setup /net, installed > to /opt/OpenOffice.org1.0

Unfortuneately, that didn't help me. :-( I did ./setup /net, installed to /opt/OpenOffice.org1.0, and when it came to registering the components, it froze my system. :-(. I'm pretty upset by the experience.. as far as I'm concerned, this program is 100% worthless. :-( On Wed, 2002-05-01 at 19:1

I've done the same, up2date with Ximian, that could explain the ill-effects that I've been experiencing. Obviously, you didn't have the install freeze your system. :) --Brian On Wed, 2002-05-01 at 17:31, Brandon Dorman wrote: > after unpacking it as user with tar -zxf I went into the directory

after unpacking it as user with tar -zxf I went into the directory and tried both ./install and ./setup both times, when I was done and tried to open it, it wouldn't work. It installed in /usr/local/openoffice What's wrong? (sorry to piggy back on this topic.) My glibc is 2.2.4, kernel 2.4.17

I've noticed this with OpenOffice 1.0 and SOT Office. Installation goes fine, but when it comes to registering the components, the installation program will freeze my system, and I have to reboot, just like Windoze. :-( I've installed some of the errata on my system, and I suspect the version of
