I'm with Anders. I can't get OO 1.0 to install. I'm on SuSE 8.0. I followed the directions at: http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/instructions.html I downloaded the file, the mdsum checked out, I extracted the tarball with "tar -zxvf [tarball name]" and it created an install directory. I "cd install" and first tried what the OO web site suggests: "./setup -net" This didn't work. I got the following: --- glibc version: 2.2.5 Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified ./setup: cannot connect to X server :0.0 suse:/tmp/install # --- So from reading the thread here I decided to try: --- suse:/tmp/install # ./install Installation starting, please be patient ... glibc version: 2.2.5 Initializing installation program.................... Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified cannot connect to X server ln: when making multiple links, last argument must be a directory ln: when making multiple links, last argument must be a directory ln: when making multiple links, last argument must be a directory ln: when making multiple links, last argument must be a directory ln: when making multiple links, last argument must be a directory ln: when making multiple links, last argument must be a directory ln: when making multiple links, last argument must be a directory ln: when making multiple links, last argument must be a directory Installation Complete suse:/tmp/install # --- Which you can see looks like a mess. So I also tried: --- suse:/tmp/install # ./install --prefix=/opt --interactive Installation starting, please be patient ... glibc version: 2.2.5 Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified ./setup: cannot connect to X server :0.0 Installation Complete suse:/tmp/install # --- Which was no better. What gives? Anders Dahlqvist wrote:
Thanks for all good advice. I've edited the install script after trying several switches. Unfortunately all I get is the same as before + the message "Installation Complete", but there's no OpenOffice1.0 directory in /opt >or /usr/local. Best regards
