I've been scrounging various articles, posts, faqs, et al online, trying
to filter what I can from google's search engine to results only
including sun.com with the site: option.  My eyes are starting to burn.

 

I recently installed open office, actually lemme rephrase and be more
specific.

 

Version of Solaris=SunOS 5.9 Generic_118559-38 i86pc i386 i86pc

 

-Downloaded open office, 2.4.x

-gunzip -c OOo_2.4.0_Solarisx86install_wJRE_en-US.tar.gz | -xf -
##installed it to local directory /fileserver/OpenOffice

-in working directory /fileserver/OpenOffice there is a new directory
named "OOH680_m12_native_packed-1_en_US.9286"

- with instruction for solaris installs, I changed directory into
packages beneath OOH680_m12_native_packed-1_en_US.9286

So now current working directory is ../../
OOH680_m12_native_packed-1_en_US.9286/packages

-this directory contains some directories that are the packages which I
was instructed to install, so I install them using:

pkgadd -a admin -d . <directorypackage>  ## where <directorypackage> is
the directory name containing the package contents

 

the system installs the packages and reports installation as
successful...there is no icon for open office when I login, please
advise!

 

I cannot provide screenshots as the system is restricted and does not
have public access, so I cannot merely take a screenshot and then email
it because there's not internet connection available.

 

Please advise!

 

I was trying to investigate which version of Java may or may not be
installed as well as the Xserver/Xsun version, which provides the
X-windows.  If you could also enlighten me with any command which would
reveal/disclose those details, iwould appreciate it.  Thank you in
advance!
