When trying to install OpenOffice.org I get a message about a missing library. How can I solve this?
This message generally means that you have a file which got corrupted during download. To verify this you can use the md5sum utility as described on the download page. This tool generates a checksum that you can cross check with the value on the download server.
- cd into /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files
- Create a backup of file_contexts. NOTE: do not overwrite file_contexts.rpmnew
- Download the patch and only use it as a model as SELinux under FC3 is being updated too frequently for the patch to be used as is. The contents are correct for installs in /opt and /usr/local. NOTE: you may have to edit file_contexts if OOo is not installed in either /opt or /usr/local.
- Execute setfiles -l -vv -F file_contexts /usr/local/OpenOffice.org*/program/ for /usr/local/ installations.
- Execute setfiles -l -vv -F file_contexts /opt for OOo installations.
- Reboot if necessary.
- If all else fails, disable SELinux and reboot.
