Description Shahar Goldin 2003-08-02 14:12:23 UTC

after installing openoffice-bin(1.0.3), 'oowriter' and 'ooffice' both failed to run
I investigated the problem and found that creating a symlink between
/opt/OpenOffice.org1.0.3 and /opt/OpenOffice.org1.0.2 fixes the problem

apparently it's looking for files in it's old directory... this doesn't fix the
root of the problem, but it's a working hack to work around it


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge openoffice-bin
2.`ooffice`
3.

This is a problem with taking over your old configuration from 1.0.2. To fix this you can relink ~/.openoffice/1.0.3/{setup,soffice,spadmin} to point to the correct place. There is a fix for the problem in the startscript of 1.1-rc1.

Comment 2 Shahar Goldin 2003-10-02 15:55:30 UTC

this should be closed re the release of OOo 1.1
(I don't think I have permissions to close a bug...)
