Re: [CentOS] failing to install LibreOffice 6.3.0.4
Since my posting, I've remembered that the last time I installed LO I had the same problem and my "solution" was to use rpm -ivh *.rpm instead of yum. that workaround works fine. Perhaps having moved over to the dark-side (rpm) you will be stuck using that, until redeemed by CentOS 8 with dnf :-) -- Cheers Bill ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Yes, every time there's a new RHEL/CentOS version released it gets completely rebuilt on that new release. I don't depend on compatibility between releases.

I've been installing the latest from LOo periodically since then. Since my posting, I've remembered that the last time I installed LO I had the same problem and my "solution" was to use rpm -ivh *.rpm instead of yum. that workaround works fine. To the poster who commented that "we" don't distribute later versions of LO, see above where I tell where I got it. I don't understand why yum refuses to install it, while rpm will.

Then use Frank Cox's suggestion to use printf's at location thoughout the source code. I know it will be big (depending on the number of libs) But this way you are sure that the compile is against a known (yours) set of libs! Also have you recompiled it and given the new binaries to the customers?
