Installing OpenOffice 3 Under Slackware LinuxJust a quick heads up for anyone who is trying to install the OpenOffice 3 under Slackware Linux. The system used here is astock Slackware 12 install, but I would imagine it would work pretty much the same for 11 or 10.2 and possibly earlier versions of Slack.Since OpenOffice switched to using rpm based packaging, Slackware users typically install OpenOffice bymeans of the following the steps:.
download and uncompress the OpenOffice archive. cd into the RPMS dir. run rpm2tgz.rpm. run installpkg.tgzThis has always worked fine. It places OpenOffice suite in the /opt dir where it belongs and everyone washappy. This rpm2tgz method came up with a few problems when installing the OpenOffice 3. Everythinginstalled and started up fine and appeared normal.
A few critical items where not working however. link for OpenOffice Impress on the new start screen doesn't work and the icon is damaged/missing. backspace key does not work in OpenOffice Writer. arrow keys do not work in OpenOffice Writer.

There may have been other issues, but since a word processor isn't of much use if you can't backspace, I didn't stick around to testother areas. I killed the new OpenOffice dir and my new preferences dir and tried the install again: same result. I then tried tostart up OpenOffice as the root user: same result. I then went back to my old version of OpenOffice 2.4 (I had just renamed the 2.4dir in /opt) and it was working fine. So in my mind this was a verified issue.I searched high and low to find the issue, but OpenOffice.org version 3 was fairly new so not much was out there. The few things I didfind related to versions of Linux other than Slackware.
I did find a few posts about the backspace/arrow keys not working for people in2.x releases of OOo. Those were corrected by blowing away the user's preferences folder and having OpenOffice recreate it again on startup. This did not work in my situation however.I began to wonder if something had gone awry with the conversion from rpm totgz packages.
So I thought I might give it a shot by actually using the rpmpackages directly as opposed to converting them first. The rpm application suite is installed by defaultwith Slackware Linux, it is just not commonly used. Anyway, long story short, I went back to the RPMS dirand issued the following command:# rpm -i -nodeps -vh -ignoresize.rpmIt went through the normal install process and placed OpenOffice into /opt as usual.
The default installation of Slackware 11 in my Blackbox, does not include the OpenOffice document processor. I decided to install it manually from the binary packets.
The binary packets of OpenOffice for Slackware are available in RPM format. When all of the packets have been downloaded, and its dependencies packet of course, you can install them manually with the rpm command.
