Alternative Way To Install OpenOffice.org 3.2.1 and OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 with Graphical Setup Is Following<\/h3>\n
Do exactly as before (download, change root, remove old, extract package and access directory), but on\u00a0Install step\u00a0simply run following command:<\/p>\n
\n
\n
.\/setup<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Now install simply with GUI.<\/p>\n
6. Start OpenOffice.org<\/h2>\n
OpenOffice.org 3.2.1<\/h3>\n
Start OpenOffice with Clicking Icons (found normally from menus) or Start OpenOffice with Following Command:<\/p>\n
\n
\n
openoffice.org3<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
OpenOffice.org 3.3.0<\/h3>\n
Some reason Gnome menu icons is not working on Beta 1, so Start OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 with Following Command:<\/p>\n
\n
\n
\/opt\/ooo-dev3\/program\/soffice.bin<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Or create own icons and add Gnome menu.<\/p>\n
Troubleshooting<\/h2>\n
If you encounter problems in launching OpenOffice.org 3.2.1\/3.3.0, so you should try to start OpenOffice from the command line and check the errors.<\/p>\n
If the errors are the following:<\/p>\n
\n
\n
$ openoffice.org3\n\/opt\/openoffice.org3\/program\/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libuno_sal.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Or<\/p>\n
\n
\n
$ openoffice.org3\n\/opt\/openoffice.org3\/program\/soffice.bin: \/opt\/openoffice.org3\/program\/..\/basis-link\/ure-link\/lib\/libuno_sal.so.3: version `UDK_3.10' not found (required by \/opt\/openoffice.org3\/program\/..\/basis-link\/program\/libsfxli.so) \/opt\/openoffice.org3\/program\/soffice.bin: \/opt\/openoffice.org3\/program\/..\/basis-link\/program\/libfreebl3.so: version `NSSRAWHASH_3.12.3' not found (required by \/lib\/libcrypt.so.1)<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Your system is probably installed the wrong version of the package\u00a0openoffice.org-ure. Example on Fedora YUM update upgrade\u00a0openoffice.org-ure\u00a0packet from openoffice.org-ure-1.6.0-9483 (right package) to openoffice.org-ure-3.1.1-19.26.fc12 (wrong package).<\/p>\n
I recommend the following to fix the problem (as root):<\/h3>\n
Remove all OpenOffice.org 3.2.1 packages<\/p>\n
\n
\n
yum remove openoffice.org-ure jre-1.6.0_20-fcs.i586 openoffice.org3.2-redhat-menus-*.noarch<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Follow the earlier instructions to install OpenOffice again.<\/p>\n
Block openoffice.org-ure package updates. In other words, pin openoffice.org-ure-1.6.0-9483 package
\nAdd exclude row to\u00a0\/etc\/yum.conf\u00a0file, under the section\u00a0[main]:<\/p>\n
\n
\n
## Edit file\nnano -w \/etc\/yum.conf\n\n## Add exclude row\n[main]\nexclude=openoffice.org-ure*<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
After that the openoffice.org-ure package will not be updated. It is important to remember to remove that line, at the stage where sometimes update the Open Office example via YUM package management.<\/p>\n
