Microsoft docx files on Ubuntu (Gusty)
Two Types of Installation Here are two related ways to view *.docx files in ubuntu. Troubleshooting Note : If, after following the instructions below you get one of the following two errors, then the following should help you out (at least they did for me). (This error occurs when installing the command line version:) OdfConverter: error while loading shared libraries: libgif.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (This error occurs when installing it directly into openoffice:) Read-Error. Data could not be read from the file. Then the following should help you out (at least they did it for me). Type the command: locate libtiff.so I had libtiff.so.4, but I need libtiff.so.3. Make the following symbolic link: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libtiff.so.4 /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3 Then use the command sudo ldconfig to update the library cache.
