Hi,
Did anyone here manage to install OpenOffice on Debian Sid? I'm talking
about either 643C or 644. I get total and utter failure. 644 won't
install in a centeral place, and won't run (ICE default IO error handler
doing an exit(), pid = 5800, errno = 4
Aborted)
As root:
./setup -net
Or, if you have problem connecting to the display: something like:
DISPLAY=:0 XAUTHORITY=/home/tzafrir/.Xauthority ./setup -net
And later, as a user:
/opt/OpenOffice.org644/setup
and choose "station"
On 643 there was the command-line install, which was faster and simpler. But it seems to be gone in 644.
As for the README: it is practically worthless.

It leaves a unix domain socket behind on /tmp:

Ran install as root, and then setup as user, chose workstation.643C loads, but when I try to get impress, it complains about trying to
get export functions which are not exported by libsal.
How exactly did you install it, and how exactly did you run it?
In order to run it I had to type the full path, as the symlinks they left at /usr/local/bin did not work. So I did "/usr/local/OpenOffice643C/program/simpress".
I tried to. This is not an easy task by a long shot.Any help would be apretiated.Maybe you need a specific path. But what do you need the java for, anyway?
Both don't recognize the java runtime, despite it being installed.
BTW: any idea how difficult it is to build an openoffice apt source of that snapshot sources? It is bound to be much easier and faster to insall. Ditto for rpms.
I did apt-get source openoffice.org, which brought me the source tree for 1.0.2. I then removed the original source and put in the 643C source tar. Extract had conflicts on patches. Most of them I managed to resolve, some I had to remove because I couldn't find what they were talking about (and yet more - some of them were already resolved).
I then started to compile the beast, which it wouldn't pass. At that point I gave up.
