My OS can't find the OOo

[qianjigui]

Thanks for helping me.
I install the OOo 3.0 by myself.
I download the package ,and install it by typing the setup shell script.
And then I remove the lower version 2.4 by apt-get .
But now I want to install the unoconv(one tool depending on the OOo), the system ask me to install the OOo too.
Now I want to ask : how to set the OS know I install the OOo.

I find many solutions, such as using the openoffice.org3.0-debian-menus_3.0-9354_all.deb. But it can't work for me.

My OS: Ubuntu 8.04.2
Thanks too.

The python script will probably work either as-is or with a few modifications in the newest version of the OpenOffice.org program you downloaded, but the debian file in the Ubuntu repository requires that you have the Ubuntu supported version of the OpenOffice.org program.

You could try downloading the source code and, if necessary, modify the python script to point to your actual installation location of the OpenOffice.org files.

Alternatively, you could reinstall the original version of OpenOffice.org included with Ubuntu Linux. You can have both versions installed simultaneously as long as you do not use the newest version's Desktop Integration module.

Thanks for your advise.
I solve the problem by download the source and make install.
And then I change the
extrapaths = glob.glob('/usr/local*/openoffice*/program/') + glob.glob('/usr/local*/ooo*/program') + [ '/Applications/NeoOffice.app/Contents/program', ]
to my dictionary.
Thanks.

I added the /usr/local paths to unoconv as well. This will be part of the 0.4 release.

Thanks a lot.
