Software Installations and Upgrades

(From the blogs of the software TA) Spending nights over it :))

During the week of Jan 30 - Feb 06, the following upgrades/installations were undertaken:

The directory for installation was /usr/local/bin

top was installed on blitz and the javalab machines.
A new version of gs was installed on blitz (version 8.13), (gs tutorial).

The directory for the following installation was /usr/local/contrib/OpenOffice.org1.1.0

OpenOffice 1.1 was installed on elements and blitz, (OpenOffice faq).
The program name is: openoffice (this executibe is available in /usr/local/contrib/bin).
If you are running OpenOffice 1.1 for the first time, it will run the installation program meant to install the components needed for each separate user. Follow the on screen instructions (you dont need to enter anything in the screen that asks for your name, address and other particulars). Once the installation is over, run openoffice again and presto, the program is up and running !!!

Enjoy !!!
