How to install OpenOffice 2.0
at GoboLinux 012


Download OOo 2.0


After extracting there are several .rpm files.
Unpack them manually (I used mc) to:
  /Programs/OpenOffice/2.0

Move files from:
  /Programs/OpenOffice/2.0/opt/openoffice.org1.9.125
to
  /Programs/OpenOffice/2.0/
and remove path
  /Programs/OpenOffice/2.0/opt/

'copy' old OOo 'bin' links to current
  /Programs/OpenOffice/1.1.4/bin
to
  /Programs/OpenOffice/2.0/bin

Created symlinks at /Programs/OpenOffice/2.0/doc to files
../LICENSE  ../README  ../README.html

Unpack:
 openoffice.org-freedesktop-menus-2.0.noarch.rpm

copy from that rpm:
 usr/share/*
to:
 /Programs/OpenOffice/2.0/Shared

edit symlinks at:
 /Programs/OpenOffice/2.0/Shared/applications/*
to point to:
 ../xdg/*

Copy:
 usr/bin/o*
to:
 /Programs/OpenOffice/2.0/bin
adjust path inside the two o* script files to match right full path (do not use ./):
 /Programs/OpenOffice/2.0/bin/*

RemoveProgram OpenOffice 1.1.4
SymlinkProgram OpenOffice 2.0

Later on the menu entries will show at: KDE Menu / Office

And if you have problems with accents try this (this info is for portuguese/Brasil but may work for other languages if setup properly):
  export LANG=pt_BR
you can setup this line at .bashrc or .zshrc
or even better, create an script RunPtBR.sh with this content:
  export LANG=pt_BR
  "$@"
then run:
  RunPtBR.sh soffice
or
  RunPtBR.sh swriter

Good Luck!
