What to do when wps failed to install on Ubuntu?
I am using wps for ubuntu-kylin, which can nearly match the WS office, and I think it is a great software to replace LibreOffice in linux, and recently, I got an update information, so I downloaded from the wps website and failed to install the newest version. The main problem is that the official package is for i386 platform, my Ubuntu is 64-bit!!!
After some failed trial to install all the 32-bit libraries, I downloaded the ubuntu-kylin 64-bit version wps, to my surprise, it also failed to install. But I found the wps-office is in the installed package lists, so I just removed the not-running package with
| sudo apt-get autoremove wps-office |
and reisntall the kylin version wps.
The lesson is that always easy the burden of yourself by standing on the shoulders of the giants.
