Hi and welcome to the forum!

Don't use the script, it's not that good. Use your package manager instead.

Please add '[Solved]' at the beginning of your first post title (edit button) if your issue has been fixed.

As Hagar said, use rpm command. Open a terminal on the RPMS folder and issue these commands:

Code: Select all

sudo rpm -Uvh *.rpm
(enter your root password)

Code: Select all

cd desktop-integration
sudo rpm -Uvh openoffice.org3.3-redhat*
(enter your root password)

On your first message you said that your system is 64 bits but the error messages indicate missing 32 bits libraries: it seems that you downloaded the 32 bits package instead of the 64 bits one.
You need to download the 64 bits package (it have "x86_64" on the name) and try the process again.
