I am trying to install Open Office 1.0 onto a ML8.2 system. Following directions at www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/instructions.html#linux, I unpacked the tar.gz file to /tmp, then, as root in /tmp install, ran ./install --prefix=/opt.
This apparently in installed everything correctly to /opt/OpenOffice.org1.0/ The program apparently runs fine as root. However as a normal user, the program freezes shortly after completing the launch process. When I attempt to run either /opt/OpenOffice.org1.0/setup or /tmp/install/setup, either as root or as a normal user, the setup program returns "OO is already installed, Would you like to repair?" Doing so doesn't change this or any subsequent behaviors, running the setup program again leads to the same message. in following the OO installation directions, I see that the setup program is supposed to install ~1.4 Mb into my home directory. This was not done, either as root or normal user. I am able to run OO as a normal user if I change the suid bit on the program file, but this doesn't seem like a safe solution. Has anybody been more successful installing OO1.0 on ML8.2? How? TIA Paul
