Need Assistance in finding office open source for REDHAT linux. Need to be compiled as non-root user . If possible I also need instructions for installation.
How about using what already is there?
yum search office
su
yum install libreoffice
And about compiling, you dont need to be root to compile binaries...
You just need to be root to install them in places so all can use it.
LibreOffice - Browse Files at SourceForge.net
If you need help with compiling itself, there are several theads in the forum giving help on this.
Please use the search function.
Hope this helps to get you started.
sea . I dont have root access and i am looking to compile under my user . If you have any instruction on it that would be great .
Do you have compile tools available?
What is the output of:
which gcc
Because if that returns false, not found, you wont have a chance to compile anyway...
And in which case, i'd suggest you talk to your IT guy (as in supporter, assuming you're in a business) and ask him to install both, the office and the tools.
sea. I have compiler "gcc version 4.4.7".
So, download the source code of libreoffice, either by git or within the file section a tarball.
(Untar the tarball)
change to its directory, and run (usualy its just that)
./configure
make install
Hope this helps
If making not root, you may want to make a mirror root dir and direct the install there using configure options. My home dir has a dir tree root/usr/local and a sym link to local, PATHing to include the bin and LD_LIBRARY_PATHing for the lib.
I installed some binaries but had to rework internal PATHing using chattr.
