In Mac OS X the typical folder is "Downloads". But you can use any other folder. Installation Instructions ------------------------- This file contains two sets of instructions. The first (I) outlines how to install the new library file using a Terminal window and the command line. The second (II) outlines how to install the new library file using the Finder. Both sets of instructions assume you downloaded the zip file and "unzipped" it directly into Downloads. I. Using the Terminal window. I.1. Directions for updating the file using a Terminal window. These directions assume (1) familiarity with using the command line in a Terminal window; and (2) that the user has administrator privileges. I.2. Make sure that OpenOffice is not running. I.3. Open the Finder App (or another file manager of your choice). I.4. Determine the installation path. Locate the installation path of the OpenOffice program files. The default path is "/Applications/OpenOffice.app/Contents/program/"). I.5. Make a backup of the existing file by renaming it. Rename the old file "libtl.dylib" to "libtl.dylib.original". You can keep the file "libtl.dylib.original" as a backup as long as you want. I.6. Copy the new file "libtl.dylib". From the extracted ZIP file copy the file "libtl.dylib" to the "/Applications/OpenOffice.app/Contents/program/" folder. You need Administrator privileges for this. In a terminal window these commands will accomplish the file copy. It is assumed that you downloaded and extracted the contents of the ZIP file directly into "Downloads": $ cd ~/Downloads $ sudo cp -v libtl.dylib /Applications/OpenOffice.app/Contents/program II. Using the Finder App - or another file manager of your choice. II.1. Directions for updating the file without using a Terminal window. These instructions assume: (1) that the user account has Administrator privileges; and (2) that the file "libtl.dylib" was saved to the Downloads folder. II.2. In Finder select the "Go" menu on the Application menu bar (at the top of the screen) and open a window to the Downloads folder. II.3. In Finder open another Finder window and in the sidebar select the Applications folder: Do the follwoing steps: - Hold down the "Control" key and select the OpenOffice application. - Select "Show Package Contents" from the drop-down menu. - Open the Contents folder now displayed in the Finder window. - Select and open the "program" folder displayed in the Finder window. - Scroll through the list of files shown and find "libtl.dylib". - Hold down the "Control" key and select the "libtl.dylib" file. - Select "Duplicate" from the drop-down menu. (a file named "libtl copy.dylib" is created) - Select the back button "<" from the Finder window top menu. (the Finder displays the list of files and folders in the Contents folder) II.4. Select the Finder window showing the "Downloads" folder contents. Do the following steps: - Hold down the "Control" key and select the "libtl.dylib" file. - Select "Copy 'libtl.dylib'" from the drop-down menu. - Select the other Finder window showing the list of files in the Contents folder. - Hold down the "Control" key and select the "program" folder. - Select "Paste Item" from the drop-down menu. - A window appears with the message: "An older item named "libtl.dylib" already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it with the newer one you're moving?" - Select the "Replace" button. Now the patch work is done and you can exit any opened Terminal window and Finder.
