Installing OO1.1 with Red Hat 9

[whynot]

I want to install OO1.1beta in my red Hat 9 Linux, but always get the message
/tmp/sv001.tmp/setup.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libcomphelp3gcc3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I've looked for the missing file in the internet, but couldn't find it.

So i've downloaded an older version with libcomphelp2 in, but the system told me, a newer package was installed already.

So what to do now ?

Please bear with me i've this is just a stupid problem.
I'm using linux for just 2 weeks and are not very familar with it

thanks in advance

Did you ever get this problem resolved? I'm at the same point (sort of) with RH9. I tried
playing a few games, though. I created a soft link to libcomphelpgcc2 that came with my
OO 1.0.2. That worked until it wanted the next lib, libcppuhelpergcc3.so.3. Then it wanted libcppu.so.3. Then libsal.so.3. I went on for a few more libs and gave up. Anybody have a
clue as to how to get 1.2.beta2 installed? In case it matters, I'm using jdk 1.4.2.

TIA,
Joe

Hello,

I had problems too with RH 8.0 since OOo comes preinstalled with the distribution.
Please tell me what kind of installation are you doing. Are you installing using root privileges or not?

Hi,
My RH 9 also came with OO 1.0.2 (I think) preinstalled. That works fine. I wanted to play
with the new OO 1.1 as it supports (supposedly) Hebrew and I wanted to see how the
implementation looks (especially mixed English & Hebrew together). I downloaded the
tar.gz file and tried running both the install script and the setup program outside of the
install script. I ran as root and as myself. No differences.

Thanks,
Joe

Maybe you need to add some RPM package. RH sometims doesn't process 'devel' packages, since it depends on your system install. Try to query packages on CD and find the ones needed. Then install them.
After that setup process should run smoothly.

Sounds good exept that when I installed RH9, I told it to install everything off of the 3 CDs.
I don't think there's anything left to install. Besides I noticed those libs that were wanted were
to be found (other than the correct versions) in the OOo program directory for 1.0.2. I would
assume that those libs are part of the actual install package. Why is install trying to reference
them? Doesn't make any sense.

I suppose I could just download all the sources and build everything from scratch. I'm in no
hurry; if I get no real response, I'll try that later this week.

Thanks for your time,
Joe

I just installed OO 1.1 RC3 on my sisters' RedHat 9, and it went smoothly.

I did install it to her user account though, and not as a general system thing.
