+This hotfix consists of three files:
+ * The Linux64.README file you are reading
+ * A repacement file, libtl.so, that you will need to install
+ * The public signature file,libtl.so.asc, of the developer providing the
repalcement file.
+
+You can use whatever gpg tools you have to verify the signature against the
information
+provided in the Apache OpenOffice KEYS file --
+https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/openoffice/KEYS
+
+
+This file provides basic instructions for installing the replacment file,
libtl.so, into your existing Apache OpenOffice installation. You will need to
do this replacement using a console (terminal) window and will likely need to
use "root" (administrator) access to your system.
+
+Step 1: Open a console window and login to a console window as root.
+ Command in console window: su -
+
+Step 2: a)If you already know where Apache OpenOffice is located on your
system, navigate
+ to that directory. Example: "cd /opt/openoffice4".
+ b) If you do not know where Apapaceh OpenOffice is located on your
system, you
+ can use the "locate" comand to find the location. Example: "locate
openoffice".
+ The locate command may produce a lot of output but at some point you
should see
+ the actual location on your system where Apache OpenOffice is
installed.
+ Navigate to that location.
+
+Step 3: Navigate to the "program" subdirectory of your Apache OpenOffice
installation
+ area.
+ You should now be located in the openoffice4 installation area of your
system.
+ For illustration, this will be called /opt/openoffice4. Navigate to the
"program" subdirectory.
+ Command: cd "program"
+
+ You should now be in directory /opt/openoffice4/program
+
+Step 4: List the files in the Apache OpenOffice program subdirectory.
+ Command: "ls"
+
+ You should see a file called "libtl.so".
+
+Step 5: Rename the existing libtl.so.
+ You can leave this renamed libtl.so where it is if you like.
+ Command: "mv libtl.so libtl.so.orig"
+
+Step 6: Save the libtl.so provided in this area to your Apache OpenOffice
program folder.
+
+ You should download the libtl.so provided here as a non-root user. Then
using
+ your root console window already open, copy it from the downloaded
location to
+ the Apache OpenOffice program folder.
+
+ Examples: User jane downloaded libtl.so from her browser window and
saved it in
+ a folder called "Downloads". The full path to Jane's Download area is:
+ /home/jane/Downloads.
+
+ Still in the root console window in the Apache OpenOffice "program"
folder,
+ use the following command:
+
+ Command: cp /home/jane/Downloads/libtl.so .
+ the last part of this command is a dot (.)
+
+Step 7: Verify that the libtl.so got placed in the "program" directory.
+
+ Command: ls -al
+
+ This will allow you to verify permission settings on the new file. If
it is NOT
+ set as "-r--r--r-- 1 root root", go to Step 8.
+
+Step 8: Fix ownership and permissions if needed.
+ To correct the ownership/ permission settings on the new libtl.so, do
the
+ following still in the command window as root in
/opt/openoffice4/program:
+
+ Command: chown root:root libtl.so
+ Command: chmod 755 libtl.so
+
+Step 9: Start Apache OpenOffice as your normally would as a non-priviledged
user.
+
+
