[SOLVED] OPenOffice.org

[High_Lander]

I am not able to install openoffice.org in my pc with fedora12 operating systems. It gave me the following errors. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi and Welcome !


Which command did you execute to install OpenOffice? Disable Adobe repository and try to install Openoffice again.

I would suggest to install Graphical Interface of yum, Yum Extender (yumex) and install packages through it.

su -c yum -y install yumex

Open Yum Extender, search OpenOffice and install it.

yumex appears to be a nice package, I see there openoffice write however when i tried to install the the same i get the following error messages

"File /var/cache/yum/i386/12/fedora/metalink.xml does not exist"

I believe I was able to clean the adobe repositiary. Thank you

Try running this command to clear things out:

yum clean all

Now try again to install Open Office.

[High_Lander]

#yum clean all
#yum search openoffice.org

then yum install officewriter*

did the job for now- thank you

[waterhead]

I'm not sure what program installed with that command. The OpenOffice write package is named openoffice.org-writer.

yum install openoffice.org-writer

[High_Lander]

Basically I selected, copied and pasted to the root command prompt - a program which is obvious a openoffice writer.
I really mean to say the same package i.e., openoffice.org-writer which you mentioned in the following command:

yum install openoffice.org-writer

thank u
