I have downloaded a file to optain Open Office. I did not have an
unzip utility so I downloaded Unzip to open it. I get a message
that it will not work. The file I downloaded is
OOo_1.9.100-1_src.tar. Is this the correct file to get Open Office
and if so what may be wrong that is won't open up and make itself
available. I followed the instructions on the installation sheet. Please help. Terry Edwardson, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you
You grabbed the wrong file unless you want to build it from scratch.
You should have grabbed -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 104424380 May 15 09:50 OOo_1.9.100_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz
Pick or make a new dir, and unpack it. That will give you some 6 or so rpms. They will install in /opt/openoffice.org1.9.100/* when you run 'rpm -Uvh OOo*i386.rpm', which it did here with no further adeiu.
Click on a blank spot on an xwindow, choose add link, select
the butterfly logo, and select as the executable: /opt/openoffice.org1.9.100/soffice, rename the icon to OOo1.9.100 (first screen) and save. Clicking on it which will open the registration screen. When thats done, its ready to do as you want. Its all free, so the next action is up to you. It will need jre1.5.0 for your Operating System also, which is also a free download from sun.com.
Terry,
Using an AOL address, I can only imagine that you are running some verison of Windows or perhaps even MacOSX. (Does AOL run on MacOSX?)
What you need to do is return to the download section and look for the installation files for your operating system.
If you go here: <http://download.openoffice.org/1.1.4/index.html>
You will be brought to a page where you choose your language, Operating System and finally the location you want to download from.
