    When I tried to read your tutorial on how to upgrade OpenOffice to version 3.10, the first two lines of instruction were partially blocked by an ad. Nothing I could do would make it readable. So the whole tutorial becomes useless.

      I corrected the error, thank you for informing me

    I just did this on my girlfriends computer – with result: 0 packages to be upgraded.

    Checking the oo “about” it seams oo 3.1 was installed with the latest edition of mint 7. Could this be right? If not I have no idea whats going on…

  • zinovsky

    Seem like this upgrade is now available in Linuxmint updates ,so if your Gloria is updated then surely you will have the latest version of Openoffice installed. 8)

I tried it and it works with a regular zip file, but if you password-protect the .zip file it does NOT work.

After install as above, run shell script /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/wfica.sh manually and note lib errors still occur. I had the x64 motif loaded but had to manually install the x86 too. Got that from http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libXm.so.4 Even after that, I still had to do a “yum install alsa-lib.i686 alsa-lib.x86_64″ to resolve any additional libasound.so.2 errors. Once those two lib issues were resolved, Citix Web Interface launched apps fine by telling browser to open launch.ica using /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/wfica.sh. Good luck Ernesto!
