    Exclamation help me install OpenOffice on SLES 9 SP 3 asap

    OS: SLES 9 SP 3
    # SPident
    CONCLUSION: System is up-to-date!
    found SLES-9-x86_64-SP3

    I have to install the OpenOffice_org-1.1.5-0.8.i586.rpm(ships with NLD-9-x86_64-SP3) on SLES-9-x86_64-SP3

    On SLES 9, Got the following error when tries to install OpenOffice from NLD 9 media

    # rpm -ivh /media/cdrecorder/suse/i586/OpenOffice_org-1.1.5-0.8.i586.rpm
    error: Failed dependencies:
    OpenOffice_org-lang is needed by OpenOffice_org-1.1.5-0.8
    libstartup-notification-1.so.0 is needed by OpenOffice_org-1.1.5-0.8

    I searched Internet a lot for "OpenOffice_org-lang" but didnt find any rpm for suse 9.x.

    Second and the most strange thing is that this system(SLES 9 SP 3) already has "libstartup-notification-1.so.0" in /usr/lib, but still OpenOffice is asking for "libstartup-notification-1.so.0" (see line # two of dependency error)

    But as I have said libstartup-notification-1.so.0 is already present I did the following to confirm
    # rpm -q --provides startup-notification
    libstartup-notification-1.so.0()(64bit)
    startup-notification = 0.5-319.1

    So please help me install the OpenOffice Novell Edition on SLES 9 that comes with Novell Linux Desktop 9 SP 3 i.e OpenOffice_org-1.1.5-0.8

    Have you tried installing using the software module in YAST? It would make your life easier because YAST will automatically install any required dependencies. If you want to install manually and you have the original SUSE discs, search for the packages on the discs and install with rpm. Another option would be to use the packages from Openoffice.org because they don't have many dependencies.

    thanks daark.child for help.

    automatically -> YAST is a good option.

    manually -> following rpms will require to install OO-1.1.5
    OpenOffice_org-en
    myspell-american
    myspell-british

    after installing the above rpms we can easily install the OO-1.1.5 from NLD-9 media.

    Thanks once again for help

    Regards
