I installed it, but it doesn't seem to present any new toolbars or offer different functionality.
According to the Dmaths installation document, you have to choose network installation (as opposed to individual installation) when you install.
Note: I had to do a network installation to get it to work in Neo. This is a really good add-on if you work with formulas even a little.

If you want all users of a single NeoOffice installation to have access to an extension, you need to use the following commands in a Terminal:
| Code: | cd /Applications/NeoOffice.app/Contents/MacOS
sudo ./unopkg.bin add --shared /path/to/the/extension |
Note that since you must use the "sudo" command to execute ./unpkg.bin, you are running as root so you need to make sure that no one is running NeoOffice while you do this.

Hi,
Thanks Patrick for your answer.
I have understood the idea, but i don't kow how to do it. I install via NeoOffice the DmathsAddon.oxt extension. NeoOffice allow me to do it in "My Extension". But the problem is : What's the path to this extension, how to find this information ?
Sorry if the answer is trivial, but i haven't found it.
Thanks

In the Terminal window, enter
| Code: | cd /Applications/NeoOffice.app/Contents/MacOS
sudo ./unopkg.bin add --shared |
then let a space after shared and drag the DmathsAddon.oxt file on the Terminal window. The correct path will appear after shared. Press Return.
I tried it and it works.

Note that while NeoOffice 2.2 and OOo 2.2 have the same problem (not possible to add a shared extension in "OpenOffice.org Extensions" from the Extension Manager), this seems to be a bug.
Since it has been fixed in OOo 2.4 and 3.0, adding shared extensions from the Extension Manager will be possible in NeoOffice 3.0 Early Access and later. |

Does it mean Jacqueline that you don't install the extension via the menu Tools, but you install it by the command in terminal ?

Yes. That's pretty obvious.
As for not being able to install shared extensions from the Extension Manager, this bug has been fixed in OOo 2.4 (maybe 2.3) and the fix will be included in NeoOffice 3.0. |

Are you sure about this? In order for this to work, all users must have write privileges to the shared UNO folder in the installation. This works fine when you drag-and-drop an OOo installation and you own all of the files in the installation. However, since NeoOffice was designed for multi-user installations, only users with admin privileges on their machine will have this functionality in NeoOffice 3.0.

| You may be right. However, under an admin account, it is not possible to install shared extensions ("OpenOffice.org Extensions" or "NeoOffice Extensions") with Neo 2.2.x or OOo/X11 2.2.1. It is possible in OOo/X11 2.4 and in the latest 3.0.0 Aqua build for PPC. |

Thanks for all answers

I have always a problem with this command. I have tried to install Dmaths for an admin user and one student user. I open terminal in admin session, type : | Code: | cd /Applications/NeoOffice.app/Contents/MacOS
sudo ./unopkg.bin add |

Thanks

You are using the incorrect options for the unopkg.bin command and are only installing it in My Extensions for yourself. To install it for all users, you need to use the "add --shared" options instead of just "add" exactly like in jgd's instructions. You deleted the "--shared" option and that is the critical option.

For packages installed using unopkg.bin's "add --shared" options, you need to rerun unopkg.bin using the following syntax:
| Code: | cd /Applications/NeoOffice.app/Contents/MacOS
sudo ./unopkg.bin remove --shared DmathAddon.oxt |
Important note: when using the above "remove" option, don't drag DmathAddon.oxt from the Finder as this option requires that you only use the name of the .oxt file with no folder.
