Hi,
I am looking at trying to install the OpenOffice x86_64 rpm from openoffice.org. (will be version 3.0) What I'd like to know, before trying it, is whether I can install and run that along with the Mandriva openoffice compilation (version 2.4.1), IOW in parallel. Or, should I first uninstall Mandriva's compil (which is 32 bit BTW)? Thanks. |

Use "urpmi ./ooo...rpm", rather then rpm, and it should let you know of any conflicts, and also determine if any dependencies need to be installed with it. I think it would be better to uninstall the 32 bit version before installing the 64 bit version, just to avoid the possible problem of run-time dynamic linking picking up the wrong version. I don't know that there will be a conflict, but it's easy to reinstall the 32 bit version later, if the 64 bit version doesn't work. Regards, Dave Hodgins |

I ended up leaving the 32 bit Mandi compil on my system, and doing urpmi *.rpm inside the directory where all the RPM's are once untarring tha tarball; and bingo. No conflicts, smooth install; all works well. OpenOffice themselves do recommend uninstalling your distro specific version before installing the "community" one from their website; but I figured, since the mandi compil is 32 bit and I would be using urpmi (knowing the default path for the 64 bit version 3 from openoffice.org default installs to /opt; I was safe.) All is well; and so far, I like that community version much more than the buggy Mandi compil. Thanks to all for feedback. |
