As in subject, am attempting to install latest LibreOffice on C7. unpack all the rpm files, type "yum install *.rpm", or "yum localinstall *.rpm" and yum spews the list of filenames (with the word "examining" in front of each file) then says "nothing to do". what the hey? I tried "yum clean all" but it didn't help. I also verified the sha256sum of the download. Anyone got any good advice? thanks in advance!

There is no support for installing newer versions from other sources.> unpack all the rpm files,RPM files from where? We don't supply Libreoffice RPMs for any version other than what is stated above.

It should be just the same in CentOS. It's best to do yum remove libreoffice* first to get rid of any earlier version, then go to the folder where you have all the new rpms and do yum install *.rpm -- Cheers & God bless Bill
