LibreOffice package in /var/log/ but Remains in /tmp
by samtsco from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4YAX9)
Hi,
Just installed Slackware 14.2 and been running it about a week, and did the build with the Slackbuilds.org script and sources, for LibreOffice and the programs it required.
As an aside, I found it curious that the script (after running all night) first produced a corrupt .tgz, then on the 2nd try, aborted near the beginning, and on the 3rd try, aborted at a different place. What makes the same program run differently each time?
Finally, I got a good LibreOffice-6.2.8.2-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz. But I noticed a message when it was still running that make had not been used to build the package, or something (I don't remember for sure, exactly). I used installpkg and received the message that it had installed successfully; I confirmed that the package was listed in /var/log/packages.
However, nothing for Libre showed up anywhere in /usr or anywhere else. The entire /tmp/SBo remained in /tmp.
Can you describe to me how I might arrange the files from SBo in /usr or wherever they should go, either manually, or by existing command or script? Or should I reinstall? If I reinstall, what can I look out for?
Meanwhile, I moved the entire SBo to my ~/ to free up my sa1 partition and /tmp, and have been using LO by typing ./soffice from the ~/<mydir>/SBo/libreoffice-6.2.8.2/instdir/program directory.
I will continue to work from there till I get smarter or die, whichever comes first.
Thanks
