I’m downloading this application right now and decided to launch my favorite word processor to start writing about it. This is a deal changer for the Mac PowerPC community and if it works how I think it will, we get our own AppStore!
Well, I installed and launched it, but unfortunately it did not work properly. I’m stuck with this window that says “double click for selecting the package you want to install, re-install or update”. I’m not sure what went wrong, but I certainly will try again later. Too bad because it looks like with this application, it allows you to update and install all the free open source software. Let me know if it worked out for you guys. I’m currently running Leopard.
MacLibre 2.0.2 ( 10.3 Panther/ 10.4 Tiger/ 10.5 Leopard) (Free) PowerPC – http://www.maclibre.com/

P.S.: Thank you “Starfighter” for sharing this fix, it works very well.
Guys check out comments from “Starfighter” if you are having the same issue. He found out how to make it work.
I’ve got the same problem. Let’s hope they will fix it soon. The concept is nice and it’s UNIVERSAL so that is great news.
The problem is easy fixed!
Go in to the app (show package content) and Contents -> Resources -> xml. Edit the config.xml with the text editor and add “winlibre.” in the svn.sourceforge-url. It should look like this when properly edited: https://winlibre.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/winlibre/MacLibre2/xml/en.xml
Then it should appear packages in the list, it did for me! :)

Go into the app (Show package content) and then Contents -> Resources -> xml. Edit config.xml with the text editor. Add “winlibre.” to the existing sourceforge-url. It should look like this:
https://winlibre.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/winlibre/MacLibre2/xml/en.xml
Then just save and start the app again, the packages should now appear in the list as they did for me! :)
Wow, it works! Thank you very much.
Sorry for the double post, the first one didn’t show up so I wrote anotherone. :) And of course, my name is Starfighter, not Starfighterrfighter. I don’t know what happened, but my browser really doesn’t like the comment tool on this site.
It’s Ok, sorry about that, now it’s fixed. I have no idea how it’s Starfighterrfighter. :)
yeah but these are old out of date old apps though!
The apps are old, but may-be some newer will be added in the future. The idea is nice though.
