hello,
has some one faced this?
I downloaded openoffice 2.2.1 as suggested on this list and then
uncompressed it into a folder and then installed it with the following
command.
alien -i *.rpm.
I did this after going into the RPMS sub directory of the main open
office directory.
I did not get any errors, just a warning that scripts are not being
installed, use --script option for correcting this.
I did it again and this time no problem.
first I did alien -r *.rpm and then the first -i command along with --script.
this time no errors and no warnings.
but surprise! I don't have any thing in my applications/ office menu
except evolution.
I tried finding hard and eventually got /opt/openoffice2.2.1 and in
the programs sub directory I found swriter, scalc etc.
I can run them all right but now I can't create a shortcut in the
office menu nor on the desktop.
what should I do.
did I install this in the wrong way?
again my command was
alien -i --script *.rpm.
please correct me if I am wrong.
regards,
Krishnakant.
