I've just downloaded OOo_3.0.0_LinuxIntel_install_wJRE_en-US.tar.gz But
I can't get it to install can someone give I very willing to learn
Ubuntu 8.10 user some help.
So far I'm loving Ubuntu after being a forced windows user
any recommendations one the correct newsgroup for Open Office help?
for .tar.gz and .tgz:
tar -xzf OOo_3.0.0_LinuxIntel_install_wJRE_en-US.tar.gz
for .tar.bz2 and .tbz2:
tar -xjf OOo_3.0.0_LinuxIntel_install_wJRE_en-US.tar.bz2
This will only unpack the archive, you will then need to run the installer
script inside (for system wide installation, as privileged user).
I do recommend you in first case use the packages provided by your
distribution, in your case use
sudo apg-get ....
This for it will not break anything in your system or make dependencies with
the package manager to break. Always as last resort use a package not made for
your distribution (rather try to compile it yourself).
Here is a quick howto install OO3 in ubuntu 8.10:
