Hi there,

I try to install OpenOffice 4.1.1 64 bit RPM (Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.1_Linux_x86-64_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz) in Oracle Enterprise Linux 4.
As I extract all files in /tmp/en_US/ and run rpm command, I got following error.

Could you please give me any hints on it?

[root@Server RPMS]# lsb_release -a
LSB Version: :core-3.0-amd64:core-3.0-ia32:core-3.0-noarch:graphics-3.0-amd64:graphics-3.0-ia32:graphics-3.0-noarch
Distributor ID: EnterpriseEnterpriseAS
Description: Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (October Update 8)
Release: 4
Codename: OctoberUpdate8
[root@AP2 RPMS]# rpm -hiv *.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
rtld(GNU_HASH) is needed by openoffice-core04-4.1.1-9775.x86_64
[root@AP2 RPMS]#

I try to install rtld with yum, but the error is still the same.
[root@AP2 RPMS]# yum install rtld

error: Failed dependencies:

What should I do next? Any help appreciated.

Regards,

Phil

Sorry guys,

I just realize that openoffice 4.1.1 required glibc2 2.11, but mine is 2.3.4.
[root@AP2 lib]# ldd --version
ldd (GNU libc) 2.3.4

As someone mentioned, to upgrade glibc is a risk to break the system.
I will try to install lower version openoffice in this old linux system.

Thanks anyway.
