Hello,
Thank you for your response.
My destination directory , ( the directory where I need that openOffice
tool to be install ) is:
*/opt/swe/tools/ext/openOffice/openoffice-3.3.0/sparc-solaris2.8/*
I need to have the tool under this location because it has to be use
after under *"/opt/swe/ "*
The main purpose for what I have to install OpenOffice on a
Sparc-Solaris2.8 machine, is that there are some teams that require
this, and they
want to use this tool on this architecture ( Sparc-Solaris2.8 ).
So, you suggest me:
- to untar the archive
*$ gunzip -c*
/opt/swe/install/*OOOo_3.3.0_Solaris_Sparc_install-wJRE_fr.tar.gz | tar
xvf -*
- go in the directory *... /packages* , that appear after I have
dezarchivate the archive
*$ cd ..../packages*
- this step I don't understand very well what it is doing ??
/*$ perl -pe 's/ask/nocheck/' /var/sadm/install/admin/default> /tmp/nocheck*/
- and then create the directory where I want the tool to be install ?
*# mkdir//alternative/*
- and then give this command:
*# pkgadd -R /alternative -a /tmp/nocheck -d . openofficeorg-core*
openofficeorg-*[^0-9]*
But before this command I don't need to run*./setup*command ?
Or this command "pkgadd " will make the installation of openOffice in "**/alternative**
" location without giving "./setup" before?
I am waiting for your answer.
Thank you,
Best regards,
Simona

What destination directory will you need to alter from the default one, /opt,
to?
What is the primary reason why you will need to do so?
What is the main purpose you will use OpenOffice.org on Solaris 2.8 SPARC?
And so on...
Could you give us your brief feedback about OpenOffice.org in return for
getting information on your inquiry?
BTW, http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/sys_reqs.html says
OpenOffice.org 3 ... Solaris 10 OS or higher
OpenOffice.org 2 ... Solaris 8 OS or higher
OpenOffice.org 2.4.3 is available at "Archive" mirror servers.
http://distribution.openoffice.org/mirrors/
You could theoretically alter the installation directory by giving -R option to the
"pkgadd" command in a normal way that Solaris offers.
But I am not sure though, even I have running Solaris 9 SPARC systems, but no
Solaris 8 one. Those systems are a production system, not for experiments.
The way might be like this, I guess:
$ gtar -zxf ....
$ cd ..../packages
$ perl -pe 's/ask/nocheck/' /var/sadm/install/admin/default> /tmp/nocheck
# mkdir /alternative
# pkgadd -R /alternative -a /tmp/nocheck -d . openofficeorg-core*
openofficeorg-*[^0-9]
I assume that you understand a purpose of the -R option.
That would also create /alternative/etc, share, usr, var, as well as opt.
I am curious to hear your feedback!
Best regards,
Tora
