Hi all,
Just a quick question: Is it possible to install the
latest version of openoffice under fedora core1?
Thank you very much,
Li

Have you tried the binary installer from OpenOffice.org?
That probably is your only option, other than upgrading the core OS.

I just tried it out as a root user ( I already have
1.1 version installed) but it looks that it will take
forever to install.
I don't know what is going on.

First go to http://openoffice.org and read the docs and download the
rpm's. It is easy to install the rpm's. The docs they have are easy to
understand. And yes I should install in FC1

Thanks Will, but do you mean this file:
OOo_2.0.0_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz?
I decompressed it and cd to folder RPMS and issued
this command as a root
rpm -Uvih *rpm (copy from the docs)
and it took forever to install and I stopped
installing it.

OOPs, I forgot it does come into a tar.gz. Sorry about that.
That is weird, I installed it before and it installed in about 2 minutes
or less. Cannot remember. How long is it taking??? What package is it
getting too???

You might have a bad RPM package. cd to a suitable directory, and see
if this turns anything up:
find -iname "*.rpm" -exec rpm -K {} \; | grep NOT
If that turns anything up, re-download the tarball.

Hi Charles,
Thanks. Nothing shows up after I followed the command
you suggested.
If I install it this way: rpm -Uvih *.rpm
I got this message: Segmentation fault
If I install it this way: rpm -vih *.rpm
I got the following on the screen and got stuck at 4%
forever.

I would not expect it to segfault that way, but you are contradicting
the arguments.
1> U is for Updating a package.
2> i is for installing a package.
3> v is for verbose output (more messages to the console).
4> h is for the hash marking (progress bar).
So for updating a package I use:
rpm -Uvh *.rpm
for installing a package from scratch (like what you should do with
kernels) I use:
rpm -ivh *.rpm
I would expect an error in rpm if you use both i and U in the same
command as you've done above. A segfault is a bit much and I assume the
programmers haven't debugged that parameter combination.
As to why it takes so long, I would rebuild the rpm database and clear
the cache files - this smells like an old problem I used to have.

Ed.

Hi Edward,
I am new to Linux. How do you rebuild the rpm
database and clear thde cache?
Thanks,

The usage of -i and -U at the same time should not be allowed in my
books. Time for a bug (enhancement) report on this.
The usage of -U will install a package that hasn't been installed yet
so -i isn't required.
rpm {-U|--upgrade} [install-options] PACKAGE_FILE ...
This upgrades or installs the package currently installed to
a newer version. This is the same as install, except all
other version(s) of the package are removed after the new
package is installed.

New subject: openoffice installed well
Hi Edward,
Thank you very much.
I rebuild the rpm database using this command as a
root user:
rpm -vv -rebuilddb
then cd to the openoffice folder and type
rpm -ivh *.rpm
and my computer install openoffice within 2 min
Then I cd to desktop-integration folder and type
rpm -ivh the_specifce_rpm_for_the_redhat.rpm
the file is installed in 20 seconds.
Finally I go back to the main menu/office/
I can see all the openoffices are on desktop.
Another question: How do I remove the older
version(1.1 version) away?

You've "installed" it, which means it's installed as well as what was
already there. If you "updated" it, older version would have been
replaced by the newer ones.
Generally you only install things like kernels (where you want to keep
more than one version on the system), or packages that have never
previously been installed on your system; and you update/upgrade
packages as you go along. You can also use the update/upgrade
installation method for new packages, and RPM will install them with no
problems.
I would have used "rpm -Uvh" for installing the OpenOffice.org packages.
How do I remove the older version(1.1 version) away?
You can try "erasing" the older versions, using "rpm -e" with the
specific package details. But you might strike some problems that
require you to remove the old and new packages, then install the new
ones by themselves (again).
