I know this one is really absurd but... I have installed Open Office 2.1. I previously had 2.0.4.
This is linux so don't anybody jump in with a windows answer here. I'm running debian (testing) which doesn't normally use rpm so I used alien to transfer the rpms to deb packages. Then I used "dpkg -i *.deb" to install the packages. All seems fine in that a directory called /opt/openoffice.org2.1 appeared as expected. The problem is I can't start open office 2.1 The installer ate my Gnome menu links and didn't replace them with new ones. I have tried everything I can think of in the terminal... including ooffice, soffice, swriter, ooffice2.1, openoffice, openoffice2.1 The best I can get from anything is to start 2.0.4 I have also tried running the executable scripts in the programs sub-directory. I have checked the md5sum and it is correct. There didn't appear to be any problems in the output from either alien or dpkg. Any ideas? -- God bless you, Keith Bates 4 Mooloobar St Narrabri NSW 2390 Phone: 02 67924890 Fax: 02 67925418 www.new-life.org.au If you don't have a reason to live JESUS IS THE ANSWER!
