Re: How to change the way to the installation path for OpenOffice , on a Solaris machine?

Hello,

Thank you for your response.

My destination directory , ( the directory where I need that openOffice 
tool to be install ) is:
*/opt/swe/tools/ext/openOffice/openoffice-3.3.0/sparc-solaris2.8/*

I need to have the tool under this location because it has to be use 
after under *"/opt/swe/ "*

The main purpose for what I have to install OpenOffice on a 
Sparc-Solaris2.8 machine, is that there are some teams that require 
this, and they
want to use this tool on this architecture (  Sparc-Solaris2.8 ).

So, you suggest me:
  - to untar the archive

*$ gunzip -c* 
/opt/swe/install/*OOOo_3.3.0_Solaris_Sparc_install-wJRE_fr.tar.gz | tar 
xvf -*

- go in the directory *... /packages*   , that appear after I have 
dezarchivate the archive

*$ cd ..../packages*


- this step I don't understand very well what it is doing ??

/*$ perl -pe 's/ask/nocheck/' /var/sadm/install/admin/default>  /tmp/nocheck*/

- and then create the directory where I want the tool to be install ?

*# mkdir//alternative/*



- and then give this command:

*# pkgadd -R /alternative -a /tmp/nocheck -d . openofficeorg-core* openofficeorg-*[^0-9]*

But before this command I don't need to run*./setup*command ?
Or this command "pkgadd " will make the installation of openOffice in "**/alternative**  " location without giving "./setup" before?

I am waiting for your answer.

Thank you,

Best regards,
Simona
