Hi there!
Just for completeness if the "non-rpm"-based distribution is
"debian"-based you can find debian installation packages on
http://download.openoffice.org/other.html which is probably easier than
to try to convince a "non-rpm"-based distribution to install the rpm
packages.
Kind regards,
Bernd Eilers

I so appreciate your help..........you sound more capable
of working aroung this problem, I've been so pleased with Open Office
and have used it for years, then this problem pops up, not so nice.
I'll have to wait and see if "they" offer me an easier solution. I'll
continue to dig aroung but I think it's a little more than I can
attempt to solve.

Subject: [discuss] Installation on non redhat package manager based
distributions
My name is David Rao
I'm an old time linux user way back to kernel verion 0.99 and a keen
supporter of Open Source (I've a few projects myself on sourceforge ...
unfortunately I no longer have time to maintain them).
I use Open Office as a MS Office replacement and I often end up
manually installing Open Office on non redhat based distributions.
I just subscribed here to let anyone else intrested on a quick and
dirty way to get Open Office instelled on a non rpm based distribution.
The problem with that is that although generally all required packages
are installed even if you have the Redhat Package Manager installed the
database is empty and the Open Office installer will fail all
dependencies.
What I do to work around this is open up the detail box to get a list
of the packages I wanted to install (after a custom setup) and paste it
into a file that I then manipulate with vi to make it into a install
script that will install the packages ignoring dependencies.
Here is a copy of my last such effort:

it
MPKG=$(find . -type f -name $PKG |tail -i)
[ -f $MPKG ] && rpm -i --force --nodeps $MPKG
fi
done
Maybe one day the Open Office install script will in someway address
non rpm based distributions ... in the meantime this might be of some
help.
The PGK_LIST variable is to be extracted from the detail error message
box and will depend on the version and on what your install selection
is.
