Ralph,
I used the www.rpmfind.net site to search for "openoffice". The site kept
timing out today. I do not have the URL unfortunately. There was only one
site with the i586 rpm out of a total of 4 sites. I do not know what kind of
directroy the rpm came from (contrib or not). I just clicked on the file name
not knowing where it resided.
I followed your advice today and told the KDE Software Manager to search the
LM 8.1 CD ISO files too. I got the following error messages this time:
rpm -U --replacepkgs /home/rpmdir/openoffice-6.0.41-5mdk.i586.rpm;echo
RESULT=$?
error: failed dependencies:
lpddaemon is needed by openoffice-6.0.41-5mdk
libstdc++3.0 >= 3.0.4-1mdk is needed by openoffice-6.0.41-5mdk
libstdc++.so.3 is needed by openoffice-6.0.41-5mdk
RESULT=1
Will the rpm package manager be able to keep track of Open Office the way it
is able to keep track of rpm packages if I use this "tarball" thing you have
used?
I think Open Office needs Java for the help menus. Do you have help menus?
Thanks,
Seedkum
