Hi. I'm running RHEL WS v4 on a Dell Pentium D. RHEL v4 had OOo 1.1.2 on
it, but I need to upgrade to get the improved Word compatibility. Here's
what I did:
rpm -ev (the three previously installed OOo RPMs)
downloaded the new RPMs and extracted the directory
rpm -Uvih *rpm
cd desktop-integration/
rpm -Uivh openoffice.org-redhat-menus-2.0.0-3.noarch.rpm
No errors or warning were reported during this process. Then I tried to
run it:
rehash
openoffice.org-2.0 &
Nothing happens -- nothing is visible, and no error messages are
reported. However, ps reports:

What's going on? How do I track down the problem? Thanks,
Is this RPMs downloaded from http://openoffice.org or are they rpms from
RedHat directly ?
These are from openoffice.org. Some further googling seems to show that,
in fact, the official RPMs work for 32-bit x86 processors only. This
does not seem to be indicated anywhere on the OOo download page. If, in
fact, this is the case, someone should probably add that information to
the download page for Linux. (In addition, that's a pretty important
port, what with the increasing number of people using 64-bit chips with
Linux...)
I'm asking the Redhat people too...
Thanks,
-Harlan
