OpenOffice.org Build 644 Beta Personal Install How-To
|
|
|
|
Written by: Martin Blapp <mbr@freebsd.org>
|
|
|
|
OpenOffice.org 1.1Beta will soon been installed in
|
|
${PREFIX}/OpenOffice.org-644
|
|
|
|
1 User installation
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Just type "openoffice" after you have successfully
|
|
installed the package. If there is no installed
|
|
OO.org dir in hour homedir, you'll be prompted to
|
|
install some files and choose a installed JDK.
|
|
The setup installs a "OpenOffice.org1.1Beta" folder
|
|
in your homedir.
|
|
|
|
If the setup tells you there is already an installed
|
|
version, you may look at the file ".sversionrc" in
|
|
your homedir. In this file OpenOffice and StarOffice
|
|
have both a line for each version which is installed.
|
|
After removing the problematic line you should be able to
|
|
install again.
|
|
|
|
2 Start OO.org
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
There are some wrappers installed for fast startup.
|
|
Add "${PREFIX}/bin/" to your PATH and you will be able
|
|
to use them.
|
|
|
|
${PREFIX}/bin/openoffice_1.1
|
|
${PREFIX}/bin/openoffice_1.1-sagenda
|
|
${PREFIX}/bin/openoffice_1.1-scalc
|
|
${PREFIX}/bin/openoffice_1.1-sdraw
|
|
${PREFIX}/bin/openoffice_1.1-setup
|
|
${PREFIX}/bin/openoffice_1.1-sfax
|
|
${PREFIX}/bin/openoffice_1.1-simpress
|
|
${PREFIX}/bin/openoffice_1.1-spadmin
|
|
${PREFIX}/bin/openoffice_1.1-sweb
|
|
${PREFIX}/bin/openoffice_1.1-swriter
|
|
|
|
OO.org does need $LANG to be set to a suitable value.
|
|
If it is not already set, a default value is chosen.
|
|
Some old X-Servers before XFree86 4.2 do not like the
|
|
western locale with Euro symbol (ISO_8859-15).
|
|
You should ignore the warning message then or upgrade to
|
|
to a more recent X-server.
|
|
|
|
If you have chosen US-ASCII as locale, you cannot load
|
|
and save documents with special characters and these
|
|
characters are also not available in swriter and scalc.
|
|
|
|
3 Setup problems (FreeBSD < 4.7-RELEASE only)
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If the setup complains about a missing file "setup.ins",
|
|
it's time to upgrade your FreeBSD system to the latest
|
|
version. You will encounter this bug only if your OS is
|
|
older than FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE.
|
|
|
|
4 Crashes in URL-location bar (FreeBSD < 4.7-RELEASE only)
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
OO.org can crash if you enter a non existing path
|
|
or URL in the location bar. To fix these crashes
|
|
you need the following patch. You will see this
|
|
bug only if your OS is older than FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE.

|
|
|
5 Crash at startup after using a localized version
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you had installed the english version, and then have
|
|
switched to a localized OO.org, it will crash instantly.
|
|
|
|
To solve this issue, please remove the already installed
|
|
OpenOffice.org1.1Beta dir in your homedir and remove the
|
|
appropriate entry from ".sversionrc". After you have done
|
|
this, redo the user installation and the problem will
|
|
go away.
