Installation of StarOffice beta 2

The beta 2 by StarOffice is located on the S.u.S.E. CDs always on the first CD in the directory /StarOffice. To be able to run StarOffice, the Motif library of the version 2.0 is required. The version beta 2 by StarOffice only runs until 1st of January 1997.

The company Star Division's installation programme's current version is from 12th of November 1996. Older versions require the library libMrm as dynamic library. This library is not contained in Metrolink Motif. The current version of setup.StarOffice is of course on the CD, but also at sunsite.unc.edu in /pub/Linux/apps/staroffice .

Take a look to the hints in the file README.SuSE in the CD's StarOffice directory. An error is unfortunately contained in it: In the point "5) Executing installation script" appears "install" as the installation programme's name. The programme is also exactly called like that in the version beta 1. In the new version the installation programme is called setup.StarOffice as it has been already said. Unfortunately it was forgotten to adjust this in the file README.SuSE. If setup.StarOffice is used for the installation, it goes without problems.

The following procedure is recommended:
