Groupware on Hardy

[Pete Smith]

Greetings,

I am very good at googling problems and copy-clipping lines into Bash... and that's about it. This one has me stumped.

Has anyone been able to install / build OpenGroupware.org on Hardy? These instructions (Link. (http://www.nld.com.au/OGO/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=7&Itemid=2)) seem to work in Dapper, up until actually logging on via webclient; but they fail utterly in the apt-get stage in Hardy. I believe I have to compile the darned thing. It's odd that something this useful would not be in the repositories in the first place. That is if OpenGroupware.org is as useful as it looks. I'm a little flabbergasted.

What do you Linux sages use for Groupware solutions in your offices? Our Admin will only work with MS Office, so I need something interoperable with Outlook (for calendars and contacts). Dawanlook (Link. (http://sourceforge.net/projects/dawanlook/)) sounds like it would work well with OpenGroupware.org. Step by step instructions would help greatly; though encouraging words like "it's possible" are okay, also.

Thanks.

Try these instructions. They're for Debian, but it says that's what to use for UBuntu:

Okay. I will try this in the coming week and report back. If this doesn't work I will try to compile it. *shudder*
