Installing OpenOffice.org 3.0 RPMS

[andsmi]

Hi! I'm wondering on how to install openoffice.org 3.0 on my ubuntu hardy. I have no Idea... I just downloaded it from openoffice.org and received an .tar.gz. I unfolded it and ended up with an install and one uninstall file, and a folder called RPMS, how do I install this?

Thnx

you downloaded the wrong package..

get it from here (http://openoffice.bouncer.osuosl.org/?product=OpenOffice.org&os=linuxinteldeb&lang=en-US&version=3.0.0) instead

to install:


unpack.

remove openoffice.org-core from synaptic

install all .debs in DEBS.

and for incons and such, install the .deb in DEBS/desktop-integration.

But thats not the nb version. the file I downloaded was Norwegian-Bokmål

oh, well, here you can get (http://download.openoffice.org/other.html) all versions, but there isnt a deb pack for your language.

you could try alien to convert the rpms to debs, but i dont know if it will work.

alien is in the repos

So there isn't a way to install the rpms?

I tried to install all of those DEBS but I get these following errors while installing some: Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: ooobasis3.0-en-US

yes, with alien, which is a package interpreter for rpms (turns them into debs), it doesnt work 100% of the time. there must but a reason why the debs are not available in your language.


about the unsatisfiable dependence, beats me, i just hit the following to get oo3.0 installed:


$ sudo apt-get remove openoffice.org-core
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
$ cd desktop-integration
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb


the dpkg commands should be executed in the directory with the debs.

all dependencies are in the same folder. if there was an unresolved dependency, it will get fixed once the missing package is installed.
