please help me install OpenOffice on SLES 9 asap
SLES 9 doesnt ships with OpenOffice.
I have to install the OpenOffice_org-1.1.5-0.8.i586.rpm from the media of Novell Linux Desktop 9 x86_64-SP3(SUSE 9 Desktop), on SLES-9-x86_64-SP3
Novell Linux Desktop 9(NLD 9) is simply the Enterprise class Desktop version of SUSE 9 from Novell.
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

Re: please help me install OpenOffice on SLES 9 asap
if you do, you can install the dependencies by doing this:
yum install
If you want, you can skip the dep check by adding a flag to the rpm command.
rpm --nodeps ...
try this on a development box first.

Re: please help me install OpenOffice on SLES 9 asap
No we cant install the vanilla version of OpenOffice ;), for some reasons we are restricted to install the Novell Edition of OpenOffice from NLD 9 media.
So please help me install the OpenOfice frm NLD 9 media.

Re: please help me install OpenOffice on SLES 9 asap
In addition, if you do feel that you have to get the dependencies manually, you can use www.rpmfind.net to find them.

>Do you have yum install?
No

Yes I once have installed the OpenOffice as:
# rpm -ivh --nodeps --force /media/cdrecorder/suse/i586/OpenOffice_org-1.1.5-0.8.i586.rpm
By executing above command OpenOffice merely installed but failed to work.
# which oowriter
/usr/bin/oowriter
but when
# /usr/bin/oowriter
Your installation of OpenOffice doesnt provide the Selected icons set "default" ---
Installation of OpenOffice.org 1.1.5 failed:
'LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/ooo-1.1: /usr/lib/ooo-1.1/program /usr/lib/ooo-1.1/program/setup -R:/tmp/ooo- wrapper.autoresponse.file.M12434 -v -nogui >
It means that --nodeps is not the sol here in my case.
Please help
Regards
Maaz

Re: please help me install OpenOffice on SLES 9 asap
>You may... use the Yast Package Manager to install Openoffice
I tried, but Yast just merely installs the OpenOffice frm NLD 9 media, but that OpenOffice doesnt works.
I found that it is equivalent to install the OpenOffice from NLD 9 media using rpm with 'nodeps' and 'force' flags, or from YAST(after configuring/adding NLD 9 media in installation source), becuase after installing OO from YAST same error comes when executing oowriter
# /usr/bin/oowriter
Your installation of OpenOffice doesnt provide the Selected icons set "default" ---
Installation of OpenOffice.org 1.1.5 failed:

If you can please find out the dependencies/rpms that are required to install before OO 1.1.5 installation on SLES 9 SP 3, please let me know

Re: please help me install OpenOffice on SLES 9 asap
libstartup-notification-1.so.0()(64bit)
startup-notification = 0.5-319.1
then why the Second Line in the output of "error: Failed dependencies:"
# 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

Re: please help me install OpenOffice on SLES 9 asap
You can identify the dependencies by running:
rpm -qRp package.rpm
>>> Second and the most strange thing is that this system(SLES 9 SP 3) already has
Probably, because rpm does not verify if the file exists, it just verify if was installed by a package name, thay may be different. If the file exists, you can ignore the dependency check using --nodeps. But OpenOffice_org-lang is needed, so you should run:
rpm -ivh OpenOffice_org-1*rpm OpenOffice_org-lang*rpm

Re: please help me install OpenOffice on SLES 9 asap
try this:
open yast -> Software(or Software Management)
in the search box, enter Openoffice
See if you could install it from there.
If not, try to search for the 2 packages the OO needs and see if you could install it.
If all of the above failed, you need to install the missing packages first.
The find the rpm you can do this:
rpm -q --whatprovides
e.g.
# rpm -q --whatprovides libstartup-notification-1.so.0
startup-notification-0.8-4.1
