I downloaded the new 2.0 beta of Open Office because I wanted to use nested tables. Normally I should be able to go into the OOo2.0beta2_native_packed_en-US directory and find a setup script, but there's no setup script in this archive. Insult on top of injury, I went into the RPMS directory and tried to do the pieces, but found this: base needs core01 core01 needs core02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08. core02 needs core01! What the . . .? Directory listing, find command and rpm results are shown below. TIA, Vic [root@localhost OOo2.0beta2_native_packed_en-US]# pwd /hda7/downloads/OOo2.0beta2_native_packed_en-US [root@localhost OOo2.0beta2_native_packed_en-US]# find . -iname "*setup*" -print [root@localhost OOo2.0beta2_native_packed_en-US]# cd RPMS [root@localhost RPMS]# ls -ld * drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 19 06:40 desktop-integration -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 785270 Aug 19 06:22 openoffice.org-base-1.9.125-1.i586.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 7222708 Aug 19 06:21 openoffice.org-calc-1.9.125-1.i586.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 552349 Aug 19 06:19 openoffice.org-core01-1.9.125-1.i586.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 3224798 Aug 19 06:28 openoffice.org-core02-1.9.125-1.i586.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 7359666 Aug 19 06:28 openoffice.org-core03-1.9.125-1.i586.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 1514116 Aug 19 06:28 openoffice.org-core03u-1.9.125-1.i586.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 4342369 Aug 19 06:29 openoffice.org-core04-1.9.125-1.i586.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 24037184 Aug 19 06:30 openoffice.org-core04u-1.9.125-1.i586.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 13520636 Aug 19 06:31 openoffice.org-core05-1.9.125-1.i586.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 8247452 Aug 19 06:32 openoffice.org-core05u-1.9.125-1.i586.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 17489623 Aug 19 06:37 openoffice.org-core06-1.9.125-1.i586.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 3704598 Aug 19 06:40 openoffice.org-core07-1.9.125-1.i586.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 495297 Aug 19 06:40 openoffice.org-core08-1.9.125-1.i586.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 3149942 Aug 19 06:40 openoffice.org-core09-1.9.125-1.i586.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 172353 Aug 19 06:40 openoffice.org-core10-1.9.125-1.i586.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 1028322 Aug 19 06:21 openoffice.org-draw-1.9.125-1.i586.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 73820 Aug 19 06:18 openoffice.org-gnome-integration-1.9.125-1.i586.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 157275 Aug 19 06:23 openoffice.org-graphicfilter-1.9.125-1.i586.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 1469249 Aug 19 06:22 openoffice.org-impress-1.9.125-1.i586.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 100434 Aug 19 06:23 openoffice.org-javafilter-1.9.125-1.i586.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 1309037 Aug 19 06:22 openoffice.org-math-1.9.125-1.i586.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 3410080 Aug 19 06:27 openoffice.org-pyuno-1.9.125-1.i586.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 27489 Aug 19 06:23 openoffice.org-spellcheck-1.9.125-1.i586.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 347832 Aug 19 06:23 openoffice.org-testtool-1.9.125-1.i586.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 3000350 Aug 19 06:20 openoffice.org-writer-1.9.125-1.i586.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 44785 Aug 19 06:23 openoffice.org-xsltfilter-1.9.125-1.i586.rpm [root@localhost RPMS]# ls -ld desk*/* -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 328124 Aug 19 06:40 desktop-integration/openoffice.org-debian-menus_1.9.125-1_all.deb -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 372966 Aug 19 06:40 desktop-integration/openoffice.org-freedesktop-menus-1.9.125-1.noarch.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 368440 Aug 19 06:40 desktop-integration/openoffice.org-mandriva-menus-1.9.125-1.noarch.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 389280 Aug 19 06:40 desktop-integration/openoffice.org-redhat-menus-1.9.125-1.noarch.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 393708 Aug 19 06:40 desktop-integration/openoffice.org-suse-menus-1.9.125-1.noarch.rpm [root@localhost RPMS]# rpm -ihv ./openoffice.org-base* error: Failed dependencies: openoffice.org-core01 is needed by openoffice.org-base-1.9.125-1.i586 [root@localhost RPMS]# rpm -ihv ./openoffice.org-core01* error: Failed dependencies: openoffice.org-core02 is needed by openoffice.org-core01-1.9.125-1.i586 openoffice.org-core03 is needed by openoffice.org-core01-1.9.125-1.i586 openoffice.org-core04 is needed by openoffice.org-core01-1.9.125-1.i586 openoffice.org-core05 is needed by openoffice.org-core01-1.9.125-1.i586 openoffice.org-core06 is needed by openoffice.org-core01-1.9.125-1.i586 openoffice.org-core07 is needed by openoffice.org-core01-1.9.125-1.i586 openoffice.org-core08 is needed by openoffice.org-core01-1.9.125-1.i586 [root@localhost RPMS]# rpm -ihv ./openoffice.org-core02* error: Failed dependencies: openoffice.org-core01 is needed by openoffice.org-core02-1.9.125-1.i586 [root@localhost RPMS]# --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
